The Road. By Cormac McCarthy.
It’s a few years after some event has killed every animal and every plant on the earth except for a few remaining humans, and you and your young son are walking southwards to escape the continuous winter, slowly starving and avoiding the dangerous dregs of humanity.

A day like any other on Teesside, until it wasn't.
The world famous Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge, later that day.

I've finished: The Ragpicker by Joel Dane
It is not easy to do something innovative in the post-apocalyptic sub genre.
Humans surviving in enclaves, hunted by robots inhabited by broken uploaded minds is nothing new. But Joel Dane manages to explore these themes in a very humanizing manner.
As Ysmany partners with the ragpicker, to save a baby from the military twitch that dominates her enclave, they go on a journey that will form a new partnership that will change the relationship between the remaining humans and the remnants of the uploaded.
For this is a found family novel, though it is in no way cozy. Filled with danger, pain and trauma, while there is a healing process, and the new partnership builds a safer community, it is an incremental improvement.
I like it when the authors don't forget that life is hard when they write about a healing journey.

My latest read: "Colossus with a Poison Tongue" by Coy Hall - See my Goodreads review for details but if you're a fan of far-future post-apocalyptic sci-fi stories oozing with vivid depictions of horror and the occult, this one's for you!
