This fast-paced, relentless journey of tribe, destiny, body, and the wonderland of technology revels in the fact that the future sometimes isn’t so predictable. In a world where all things are streamed, everyone is watching the reckoning of the murderess and the terrorist and the saga of the wicked woman and mad man unfold. Her parents spent most of the days before she was born praying for her peaceful passing because even in-utero she was wrong. AO has never really felt…natural, and that’s putting it lightly.
