Touch Grass
When her consciousness starts spontaneously ejecting from her body, Charlie becomes the first known case of a bizarre new phenomenon – and the unwilling centre of a global crisis.
And an immortal sheep might be the key to everything.
As disembodiment spreads, corporations celebrate it, governments fear it, and Charlie can’t decide whether she’s losing herself or finally escaping. But the memories she worked so hard to delete won’t stay gone, and the only way to survive a world splitting at the seams may be to reclaim the self she tried to erase.
Wry and inventive, Touch Grass explores identity, consent and the hilariously messy business of being a friend, sister and person – especially when someone keeps editing the footnotes.

At first I didn’t think this book was for me, but boy was it just what I needed. A book that got me thinking about the future of our world, AI, and what it means to be human and the incessant need to constantly start new. How far is too far?
We follow Charlie who experiences disembodiment. Periods of time she cannot control when her consciousness leaves her body. And it seems to start a world phenomena which the wrong people try to take advantage of. Charlie works at a place called “Fresh Start” which gives the client what they desire. A fresh start. Erasing their presence until people genuinely cannot ever remember that person existing.
A very interesting read that will leave you thinking and fearing for the future of our society.
