Product Information

THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Sparkling with mystery, humor and the uncanny, this is a fun read. But beneath its effervescent tone, more complex themes are at play." --San Francisco Chronicle In his wildly entertaining debut novel, Hank Green -- cocreator of Crash Course, Vlogbrothers, and SciShow -- spins a sweeping, cinematic tale about a young woman who becomes an overnight celebrity before realizing she's part of something bigger, and stranger, than anyone could have possibly imagined. The Carls just appeared. Roaming through New York City at three a.m., twenty-three-year-old April May stumbles across a giant sculpture. Delighted by its appearance and craftsmanship--like a ten-foot-tall Transformer wearing a suit of samurai armor--April and her best friend, Andy, make a video with it, which Andy uploads to YouTube. The next day, April wakes up to a viral video and a new life. News quickly spreads that there are Carls in dozens of cities around the world--from Beijing to Buenos Aires--and April, as their first documentarian, finds herself at the center of an intense international media spotlight. Seizing the opportunity to make her mark on the world, April now has to deal with the consequences her new particular brand of fame has on her relationships, her safety, and her own identity. And all eyes are on April to figure out not just what the Carls are, but what they want from us. Compulsively entertaining and powerfully relevant, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing grapples with big themes, including how the social internet is changing fame, rhetoric, and radicalization; how our culture deals with fear and uncertainty; and how vilification and adoration spring for the same dehumanization that follows a life in the public eye. The beginning of an exciting fiction career, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is a bold and insightful novel of now.

Reviews
Advance Praise for An Absolutely Remarkable Thing "[Green] applies wit, affection, and cultural intelligence to a comic sci-fi novel. . . . A fun, contemporary adventure that cares about who we are as humans, especially when faced with remarkable events." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review), Advance Praise for An Absolutely Remarkable Thing "[Green] applies wit, affection, and cultural intelligence to a comic sci-fi novel. . . . A fun, contemporary adventure that cares about who we are as humans, especially when faced with remarkable events." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Green makes an entertaining book debut in this fast-paced, witty first contact novel...At once funny, exciting, and a tad terrifying, this exploration of aliens and social media culture is bound to have wide appeal to readers interested in either theme." --Booklist (starred review) "Led by an earnestly flawed, bisexual heroine with direction and commitment issues, coupled with an abundant generosity of spirit, this read is timely and sorely needed. Highly recommended." --Library Journal (starred review), Fall 2018 Best Debut Novels "A quirky millennial mix of sci-fi alien mystery, celebrity and social media commentary." - Family Circle "You're about to meet somebody named April May who you're immediately going to want to be best friends with. And bonus, she spends all her time having incredible adventures with giant robots and dream puzzles and accidental Internet fame. An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is pure book-joy." -- Lev Grossman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Magicians Trilogy "Fun and full of truth. To be honest, I'm a little irritated at how good the book is. I don't need this kind of competition." -- Patrick Rothfuss, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Kingkiller Chronicle "This is the book my teen self would have loved, and my adult self immediately obsessed over. I turned the pages of An Absolutely Remarkable Thing so quickly the pads of my thumbs were worn smooth by the time I finished it. It provokes the mind, tickles the spirit, and April May is the terribly relevant young protagonist we've been waiting for." -- Ashley C. Ford, writer "Funny, thrilling, and an absolute blast to read. I knew Hank would be good at this, but I didn't know he would be this good on the first try." -- John Scalzi , New York Times bestselling author and Hugo Award winner "By turns joyful, devastating, personal, zeitgeisty, modern, classic, fast-paced, and thoughtful, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing blew me away with its fresh take on first contact in this fragile, ever-connected world we live in. Quick but never shallow, it will stand as a snapshot of an era as well as just a darn good read." --Catherynne M. Valente, author of The Refrigerator Monologues and Space Opera "Hank Green hasn't just written a great mystery adventure (though he has), and he hasn't just written the most interesting meditation on the internet and fame I've ever seen (but he did that too), Hank has written a book in which the page-turning story and the fascinating ideas inform and support each other. This book expands your mind while taking you on a hell of a ride." --Joseph Fink, author of Welcome to Night Vale and Alice Isn't Dead, Advance Praise for An Absolutely Remarkable Thing "[Green] applies wit, affection, and cultural intelligence to a comic sci-fi novel. . . . A fun, contemporary adventure that cares about who we are as humans, especially when faced with remarkable events." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Green makes an entertaining book debut in this fast-paced, witty first contact novel...At once funny, exciting, and a tad terrifying, this exploration of aliens and social media culture is bound to have wide appeal to readers interested in either theme." --Booklist (starred review) "You're about to meet somebody named April May who you're immediately going to want to be best friends with.

    Face Pace Can't Put Down Book

    A thought provoking story of how society's thought process is shaped by the internet in an easy to swallow modern day si-fi adventure. It's a fun fast pace read with an interesting plot. The sequel is awesome as sell

    Science fiction novel was too long

    This was a 150 page book strung out to 330 pages. The main character was fame grabbing and unsympathetic.
