The Broken Machine

by Liz Duffy Adams

In this climate-chaos comic-tragedy, a burnt-out coder has become a hermit in the wilderness, nursing a broken arm and making lists from memory—of endangered species, moments of Lost Time, Incorrect States of Mind—in company with her only friend, a gray fox with a bad attitude. When wildfires approach, they flee through the wilderness to the sea, pursued by feckless would-be rescuers and threatened by a punk psychopomp.

[Steve · Rating 4 out of 5]

Weird, Smart, Funny, Relevant. With a talking fox and a gender-fluid fairy/spirit carrying a drum. What's not to like? Will read again because there is a lot of beautiful poetry and metaphor that deserves more time to digest than the quick read I just gave this script.
