Julie
Riley is two years too young to get out from under her mother's thumb, and what
does it matter? She's over-educated, under-employed, and kept mostly numb by
her pharma emplant. Her best friend, who she's mostly been interacting with via
virtual reality for the past decade, is part of the colony mission to Proxima
Centauri. Plus, the world is coming to an end. So, there's that.
When
Julie's mother decides it's time to let go of the family home in a failing
suburb and move to the city to be closer to work and her new beau, Julie
decides to take matters into her own hands. She runs, illegally, hoping to find
and hide with the Volksgeist, a loose-knit culture of tramps, hoboes, senior
citizens, artists, and never-do-wells who have elected to ride out the end of
the world in their campers and converted vans, constantly on the move over the
back roads of America.
