When Nicole Kornher-Stace released the dystopian sci-fi novel "Firebreak," people said it hit, "too close to home." So what existential horrors await readers in the follow-up, "Flight & Anchor"? You'll just have to read this exclusive interview (or, y'know, the book itself) to find out. 📖🖊️

Last Sentence Tag Game

Rules: Write the latest line from your wip (or post where you last left off in your art) and tag as many people as there are words in the line. Make a new post, don’t reblog.

Thanks for the tag @thepatchycat , and best of luck with your WIP! :3 I, in contrast, shall merrily drop my last line without offering any context whatsoever:

"[...] Sounded like the warlord put a knife in Finn's back, to me."

Tagging @jayfeatherss , @cassiopeia721, @nicolekornherstace, and uh struggling to remember usernames off the top of my head, so anyone else who wants to play!

Do you like dystopian fiction with a side of virtual reality? In her new book, Firebreak, Nicole Kornher-Stace writes about Mallory - a girl who spends her days trying to earn enough water credits to stay alive. Mal spends most of her time playing SecOps on BestLife trying to rack up enough kills to get on the boards. A random encounter with one of the game's super-soldiers sends her and her friend Jessa on a side quest - one that uncovers information that the corporate masters want to keep hidden. And now the survival of Mal and her bunkmates is in jeopardy." Mal is a great character. She sucks at interactions with people but wants to do the right thing. There are many moments for her of "Why didn't I say that?' Aren't we all like that? This is a bleak society that NKS gives us. People always hungry and thirsty. Living on top of each other. Having to work multiple odd jobs just to survive. And never knowing when a drone blast might bring your building down. The story feels familiar if you've read any recent dystopian science-fiction at all. But the story is fast-paced. There are characters you can pull for. You'll want to keep turning pages to find out what happens. An unexpected messy ending from NKS but it works. This is the first book I've read from NKS but the writing has a great flow. Thanks to @netgalley and @gallerybooks for the advanced copy. Firebreak releases 5/4. #firebreak #nicolekornherstace #gallerybooks #netgalley #dystopianfiction #sciencefiction #virtualreality #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #novelsuspect #bookcover #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #crimefiction #thriller https://www.instagram.com/p/COaX5dtLcj2/?igshid=exf53ppkc9qc

And now something for fans of YA sci-fi and Spaceman Spiff: My exclusive interview with Nicole Kornher-Stace and Scott Brown, the writer and artist, respectfully, of "Jillian Vs. Parasite Planet." 📖🚀🪐👽

Though she loves #VideoGames and hates big corporations, in this exclusive interview, writer Nicole Kornher-Stace admits she was a bit nervous about incorporating both into her new dystopian sci-fi novel, "Firebreak." 📖🏪🏬
