"Unity is an astonishing debut, twisty and startling . . . an absorbing, thrilling ride.” —New York Times
In a desperate escape, Danae and her lover Naoto hire the enigmatic ex-mercenary Alexei to guide them out of the imploding city. But for Danae to reunify, the three new fugitives will have to flee across the otherworldly beauty of the postapocalyptic Southwest. Evoking the gritty cyberpunk of Mad Max and the fluid idealism of Sense8, Unity is a spectacular new re-envisioning of identity. Breakout author Elly Bangs has created an expressive, philosophical, science-fiction thriller that expands upon consciousness itself.

I really enjoyed this first novel from Elly Bangs, couldn't put it down.
The post-apocalyptic adapted environments are well built and depressing. The alternating point of view keeps you intrigued and guessing what's to happen next. There is action, violence, tenderness, romance, reflection, existential dread/revelation.
Bangs, admittedly, started writing this in high school as a short story and it was published 18 years later. I think Bangs' evolution as a person through writing this book is clearly shown in the evolution of her characters.
It's a beautifully written book and I will be reading more from Bangs.
