A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor
A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor is the bold and brilliant follow-up to An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. It is both social commentary on the way we live our lives online, and the myriad of terrifying ways our brains are constantly changing to adapt to new technology, as well as a fast-paced adventure story. The emergence of the Carls, and overnight fame for April May, led to a series of confusing events and destruction including the death of April May and the disappearance of the Carls, who left just as abruptly as they came. Months later, the world is as confused as ever. Andy has picked up April's mantle of fame, speaking at conferences and campuses about the post-Carl world; Maya, ravaged by grief, begins to follow a string of mysteries that she is convinced will lead her to April; and Miranda infiltrates a new scientific operation...one that might have repercussions beyond her comprehension. As the characters each get further down their own paths, a series of clues arrive--mysterious books that appear which predict the future and control the action over their readers, internet outtages, and more--which suggest April May may be very much alive. And in the midst of the gang's possible reunion is a growing force, one that wants to harness our consciousness, and reality, as we know it.
