vivo

What does it mean to be more than human?

London, 2035. People are controlled by identification chips and curfews. Trees have been removed from public spaces and contained behind walls. And behind the door of a small flat a woman is evolving, growing leaves and fur and feathers. Four strangers are drawn together and changed by their interactions with this being society sees as a monster.

Vivo challenges boundaries and asks questions on many levels: social, literary, and emotional.

Endorsement for Vivo:

Vivo sets the reader on a path to a way of life-death beyond work and the achievement society, beyond even humanity and language. A profound meditation on the love required to abandon ourselves to the world and the tender yet unyielding resistance engendered when we do so.
