Synopsis

"Can the absence of words tell a story? Like a pattern in lace, the holes as important as the threads?"

A search. A puzzle. Sixty protagonists—all of whom are dead.

Told entirely through obituaries and ricocheting through time, Remember You Will Die is an innovative, genre-bending epic about the messy tapestry of human history and the threads that connect us, told through the eyes of Peregrine, an AI mother grappling with the unexpected death of her human daughter, Poppy.

And from the newspaper clippings of individual lives emerges something else unexpected: generations entwined through blood and art and the consequences of their actions, betrayals and redemptions that traverse our dying world and beyond.

Spanning continents, centuries, planets, and genres, and centering a diverse mix of human experiences, Remember You Will Die is a provocative exploration of who we are and what we could be.

About Eden Robins

Eden Robins loves writing novels, but they take forever so she also writes short stories and self-absorbed essays. She cohosts a science podcast called No Such Thing as Boring with an actual scientist and coproduces a monthly live lit show in Chicago called Tuesday Funk. Previously, she sold sex toys, wrote jokes for Big Pharma, and once did stand-up comedy for an audience who didn’t boo. She lives in Chicago, has been to the bottom of the ocean, and will never go to space. This is her first novel.

Goodreads review by Bren on March 18, 2024

Reading the blurb for this ARC, I felt it was going to be a really heart wrenching story about grief and the phenomena on AI having feelings. However, this was not the case. Robins uses a format where the story is only told in obituaries. While these obituaries interconnect with one another, it didn......more

Goodreads review by Shannon on October 23, 2024

I was worried when I picked this lovely book up, because the reviews have not been kind to it. But wow, I feel like I have read a whole different book because I was positively mesmerized by this one! Now, full disclosure: I was a weirdo child who read the obituaries every morning as I ate my bagel.......more

Goodreads review by Gigi on December 12, 2024

A TREMENDOUS hybrid of speculative fiction, time travel, and grief. I'll admit it almost lost me in the beginning, but I refused to stop reading and eventually, I became so enamored as I started to see the loose threads start to come together that I plan to reread and annotate to better understand t......more
