The book follows Alba DeTamble, who inherited the same rare condition as her father, Henry, that causes her to travel unpredictably through time.
As she tries to build a stable life with her partner, Zach, Alba also finds herself surrounded by a community of artists and activists navigating an increasingly uncertain world. But things get complicated when her mysterious stepsister, Isadora, enters the picture.
Set against the backdrop of a dystopian Chicago, Life Out of Order takes readers through a world of virtual reality, forgotten memories and technological possibilities. At the center of it all is a digital museum curated by Isadora, whose connection to Alba may be more complicated than it first appears.
Told from multiple perspectives, the novel explores the power of art, human connection and community in an increasingly fractured world.
