Book Overview

by D. K. McCutchen (Author)









Jellyfish Dreaming is a head trip like nothing you've read, weaving together climate, genetics, gender, biology and dreams in such a way it's impossible to miss how they were always all one thing to begin with.

--Michael J. DeLuca, author of Night Roll This post-apocalyptic, post-gender, coming-of-age story pulses with plot twists and intrigue. It contemplates the tenacity of life and the capacity of hope, even when all seems lost. On the cliffs above the Great Garbage Ocean, in a university's aging experimental facility, Jack floats in a tank of poisonous jellyfish. The 200-year-old intersex street kid remembers things nobody else does, from before the environmental catastrophes that erased the world as we know it. Now, jellyfish and insects are food staples, and everyone is sterile. Everyone, that is, except for some of the town's orphaned survivors. Two of the University's researchers believe they are humanity's last hope.Jack agrees to help, but then falls for his best friend, Joon - a tough, ageless "Warehouse kid" whose arrival complicates everything. As Jack's feelings for Joon grow, so does the danger around them. When old bigotries erupt into violence, Jack must scramble to protect those he loves from a madman and save a dying world. But at what cost?
