Near-future SF novel about revolution in a post-scarcity society.
• Macmillan’s site has this description with an excerpt
• The Publishers Weekly review cites authorial “eccentricities” but concludes describing the author’s “creative premise: a near-future where the rich are on the verge of achieving immortality, a development that one character fears spells the “end of morality,” and rebels, known as walkaways, attempt to create a functioning gift economy.”
• Russell Letson reviewed it in the March issue of Locus Magazine: “For all of its engagement with What’s Happenin’ Now, Baby, Walkaway feels like good old-fashioned science fiction: part thrill-ride, part warning, part all-night political wrangle with your really smart college roommate.”

• Nominal Publication Date: Tue 25 Apr 2017
• Ebook ISBN [link to Amazon Kindle edition]: 9780374714925

SF novel about a scavenger in a postapocalyptic landscape who adopts a shape-shifting creature she finds and calls Borne.
• Macmillan’s site has this description with an excerpt and quotes from reviews from The New Yorker, Booklist, and others.
• Publishers Weekly gives it a starred review: “Reading like a dispatch from a world lodged somewhere between science fiction, myth, and a video game, the textures of Borne shift as freely as those of the titular whatsit. What’s even more remarkable is the reservoirs of feeling that VanderMeer is able to tap into throughout Rachel and Wick’s postapocalyptic journey into the Company’s warped ruins, resulting in something more than just weird fiction: weird literature.”
