The bastard offspring of They Live and The Day the planet earth Stood Still, as advised by Jean Paul Sartre. Shape-changing aliens may have arrived on the White House garden and subsequently built-into human culture, but humanity is still full of self-centered and self-absorbed individuals. Laura's just scraping by on her artwork teacher's salary. Donald, a best-selling creator and UFOlogist who provided counseling to abductees, has tried to distance himself from the saucer landings which is looking to go forward with his life. But everything changes when Shelly, an alien signed up for Laura's art school, mysteriously switches places with Laura. Life starts to unravel. Laura then realizes this isn't the first time Shelly has transferred into someone else's body, and fragments of other people's thoughts have jumped with her, including those of Donald's better half. Laura begins to grasp that actuality, or at least humanity's conception of computer, may become more flexible than anyone desires to admit. And even though she can't make clear how or why, she suspects the aliens are behind it and will need Donald's help stop them. Within an egocentric culture that sleepwalks through the rituals of lifestyle, would people even notice if the entire world around them all of a sudden and inexplicably changes? Part Jonathan Lethem (Amnesia Moon) and part Kurt Vonnegut (Slaughterhouse Five), Douglas Lain's latest novel uses science fiction's alien invasion rubric to examine and undermine the entire world we neglect. This deeply unsettling satire places him alongside contemporaries like Jeff VanderMeer and Charles Yu as you of his generation's most interesting and challenging speculative fiction voices.
