An Absolutely Remarkable Thing
First Print - Edition Hardcover
Autographed/ Hand Signed by Hank Green COA 7065
In his much-anticipated debut novel, Hank Green--cocreator of
Crash Course, Vlogbrothers, and SciShow--spins a sweeping, cinematic
tale about a young woman who becomes an overnight celebrity before
realizing she's part of something bigger, and stranger, than anyone
could have possibly imagined.
The Carls just appeared. Coming home from work at three a.m.,
twenty-three-year-old April May stumbles across a giant sculpture.
Delighted by its appearance and craftsmanship--like a ten-foot-tall
Transformer wearing a suit of samurai armor--April and her friend Andy
make a video with it, which Andy uploads to YouTube. The next day April
wakes up to a viral video and a new life. News quickly spreads that
there are Carls in dozens of cities around the world--everywhere from
Beijing to Buenos Aires--and April, as their first documentarian, finds
herself at the center of an intense international media spotlight.
Now April has to deal with the pressure on her relationships, her
identity, and her safety that this new position brings, all while being
on the front lines of the quest to find out not just what the Carls are,
but what they want from us.
Compulsively entertaining and powerfully relevant, An Absolutely
Remarkable Thing grapples with big themes, including how the social
internet is changing fame, rhetoric, and radicalization; how our culture
deals with fear and uncertainty; and how vilification and adoration
spring from the same dehumanization that follows a life in the public
eye.
