Tiger mom Erica Barbieri has sacrificed everything, including her marriage, to get her daughter Zoey to the top of her class. Zoey thinks her mom is lovingly psychotic but knows her methods equal survival in The Hunger Games of college admissions. Senior year begins with Zoey poised to be valedictorian and Harvard acceptance a “likely.” Neither sees the threat coming.

Erica insists she’s too perfect and suspects Fenella’s mother, billionaire Lannie Kingsley who runs the AI company Prometheus, has engineered her intelligence. Erica lands a job at Prometheus to investigate while Zoey befriends Fenella, falling under Lannie’s influence. Erica breaks into the Kingsley mansion to find Zoey and makes a mind-bending discovery. Confronted by her own failures, she must fight for Zoey and the essence of what it means to be human. But her success may depend on the one person she fears the most.

A billion years in the future, humanity is extinct.But Shakespeare remains.A machine civilization, so far advanced that it has the power to recreate lost civilizations, stumbles upon the works of the playwright, William Shakespeare.With only those plays to represent humanity, the machines must decide whether humanity is worth resurrecting or not.The only way to know the plays is to stage them.Enter J-9, although she prefers to be called Janine. She is a human-like construct, created by the machines, to enter and experience the plays of Shakespeare, as they run in simulation, indistinguishable from reality.Based on Janine’s impressions of humanity, drawn from her experiences of living within the unfolding plays, the machines will render their judgment: is humanity worth saving or shall we be consigned to oblivion?The stakes are higher than the Bard could have ever imagined.Created by Ted Neill, the Post Apocalyptic Space Shakespeare remains true to the plots of William Shakespeare’s plays while introducing stage directions that make the text more accessible to modern readers. The addition of Janine as an outsider looking in—and caught up in her own story framing the action of the plays—provides commentary and insight usually buried in academic papers but delivered here with heart and humor. It’s an original take on classic plays that will remind readers why the plays endure five hundred, and maybe five billion, years after they were written. Traditionally, Shakespeare’s plays, do not need to be read in a particular order. These “simulations,” do have an order, especially as Janine’s story evolves with them.Simulation Order:HamletOthelloTwelfth NightAs You Like ItA Mid-Summer Night’s DreamMuch Ado About NothingTaming of the ShrewRomeo & JulietCymbelineThe TempestMacBethRichard IIITroilus & CressidaPericlesKing LearJulius CesarAnthony & Cleopatra
