Individutopia by Joss Sheldon
“The year is 2084, and that famous Margaret Thatcher quote has become a
reality: There really is no such thing as society. No one speaks to anyone
else. No one looks at anyone else. People don’t collaborate, they only compete.
Unable to satisfy their social urges, the population has fallen into a pit of
depression and anxiety. But please don’t despair, there is hope, and it comes
in the form of our hero: Renee Ann Blanca. Wishing to fill the society-shaped
hole in her life, our Renee does the unthinkable: She goes in search of human
company! It’s a radical act and an enormous challenge. But that, I suppose, is
why her tale’s worth recounting. It’s as gripping as it is touching, and I
think you’re going to love it…” –Amazon
