À propos de cet audio
All City is more than a novel, it's a foreshadowing of a world to come.
In a near-future New York City ravaged by climate change and economic inequality, a superstorm hits, leaving behind only those who had nowhere else to go and no way to get out. Among those who remain are 24-year-old Makayla, who works in the city's most ubiquitous convenience store chain, and Jesse, an 18-year-old, genderqueer anarchist living in an abandoned IRT station in the Bronx. In the aftermath of the storm, Jesse joins Makayla's group of remainders in an abandoned luxury condo building, carving out a small sanctuary in the midst of a destroyed city.
Meanwhile, mysterious, colorful murals begin to appear throughout NYC, bringing hope to the forsaken and left-behind. But the storm's castaways aren't the only ones who find beauty in the art: the media, having long abandoned the supposedly hopeless metropolis, "discovers" the emergence of the murals. When one appears on Makayla and Jesse's repurposed luxury condo, it is only a matter of time before the landlord class comes back to claim the city for themselves.

Compelling dark horse.
Great writing and well developed, diverse cast of characters. Actors are very well cast and handle the material beautifully, with the exception of the male voice, which is a bit robotic, but maybe that’s the point. A detached observer.
This book will break your heart. A dash of Orwell without being Orwellian. A grittier, more accessible Atwood. Close enough to real life to be terrifying while showcasing the banality of that terror at the same time.
Hope, horror, resilience, resignation, all collide to mess with hearts and heads.
