Things We Didn't See Coming

By: Steven Amsterdam

Narrated by: William Dufris, Mind's Eye Productions

Nine brilliantly told and connected stories take place in a post-apocalyptic world sometime in the near future and follow the narrator at different stages of his life, trying to survive in a savage landscape of climate change, plague, larceny, and a new sexual order.

Critic reviews

"Breathtakingly strange.... Things We Didn’t See Coming is the kind of book that can inspire us to think differently about the world and entertain us at the same time. In its occasional darkness, we can also see light." ( The Washington Post)

"There is a satisfying tingle in imagining an Armageddon just round the corner. But Amsterdam also gives his book an emotional heart; it lies in the contrast between the narrator’s very ordinary emotions—jealousy, fear, the desire to belong—and his extraordinary circumstances.... A memorable debut.” ( Financial Times)
