Susanna Kwan’s 2025 Awake in the Floating City is a near-future science fiction novel.
Realizing that rain-soaked San Francisco is doomed, Bo’s relatives have long since decamped for Canada and other less-immediately-dangerous regions1. Bo and her mother remained. Two years ago, Bo’s mother vanished after a flash flood. Only Bo remains.
Bo’s family is eager to facilitate Bo’s relocation. Everything is arranged. The only impediment is Bo herself.
