Synopsis: Set in a future where consumerism has made much of Earth into a junk heap, Peter Payne is a trashformer, a scavenger, a kid under the thumb of a world too brutal to stay human. When his one chance for love and to change his fate is violently torn away from him, he embarks on a quest to rebuild the object of his obsession. Filled with themes of cybernetics, prosthetics, consumerism, over-consumerism, robotics and transcendence, Livid expands on classic tropes to build a world as deep and compelling as the main character. "LIVID is a thoughtful meditation on what it means to be human and an exciting peek into a world that is just around the corner." - James Patrick Kelly, winner of the Hugo, Nebula and Locus awards. * Winner 2013 Odissea Award by Delos Books * Winner 2014 Cassiopea Award * Winner Italia Award * Finalist in the Vegetti Award
