Dept. of Speculation meets Black Mirror in this lyrical, speculative debut about a queer mother raising her daughter in an unjust surveillance state
I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself by Marisa Crane is a thought-provoking and poignant dystopian novel set in a world where individuals are punished by receiving extra shadows, marking their transgressions. The story follows Kris, a widow and new mother, who is raising her daughter in a society under constant surveillance. As Kris navigates the challenges of single parenthood, she grapples with grief, guilt, and the oppressive system that judges and isolates those deemed "wrongdoers." Through her journey, the novel explores themes of resistance, identity, and the complexities of human connection in a society that thrives on fear and punishment.
