New York TimesIn a hot and gritty city populated by super-intelligent robots
called 'Hums', May seeks some reprieve from recent hardships and from her
family's addiction to their devices. She splurges on a weekend away at the
Botanical Garden - a rare, green refuge in the heart of the city, where forests,
streams and animals flourish. But when it becomes clear that the Garden is not
the idyll she hoped it would be, and her children come under threat, May is
forced to put her trust in a Hum of uncertain motives in order to restore the
life of her family.Gripping and unflinching, Hum is about our most cherished
human relationships in a world compromised by climate change and dizzying
technological revolution, a world with both dystopian and utopian possibilities.
