Synopsis

"Nemett's wondrously fresh novel positively bursts with charm, heart, and invention." ―Booklist, Starred ReviewWelcome to The Egg, an off-campus geodesic dome where David Fuffman and his crew of alienated Princeton students train for what might be the end of days: America is in a perpetual state of war, climate disasters create a global state of emergency, and scientists believe time itself may be collapsing.Funded by the charismatic Mathias Blue and fueled by performance enhancers and psychedelic drugs, a student revolution incubates at The Egg, inspired by the superheroes that dominate American culture. The arrival of Haley Roth―an impassioned heroine with a dark secret―propels David and Mathias to expand their movement across college campuses nationwide, inspiring a cult-like following. As the final superstorm arrives, they toe the line between good and evil, deliverance and demagogues, the damned and the saved.In this sprawling, ambitious debut, Adam Nemett delves into contemporary life in all of its chaos and unknowing. We Can Save Us All is a brave, ribald, and multi-layered examination of what may be the fundamental question of our time: just who is responsible for fixing all of this?

It's the mid-2020s when we find a group of Princeton semi-dropouts living off campus in a geodesic dome with Wayne Manoresque crypts and contraptions bracing for a creeping apocalypse. Like today's college students, they're always running short on time, though their affliction is in equal measure yo......more

Goodreads review by OutlawPoet on October 05, 2018

This was a tough read for me. Our characters were unbearably precious - I think purposefully so. Immature, bold, bright, and so blastedly aware of how bold and bright they were that I wanted to slap them at times. There's so much arrogance in them. Our story? I spent a lot of time waiting for big thin......more

Goodreads review by Larry on January 08, 2019

Six stars. Five isn’t enough. Warning: it isn’t for everybody. But it IS an amazing, fascinating, somewhat terrifying book. The last 100 pages or so completely took me over. I was absorbed into the couch until I finished, totally oblivious to what was going on around me. Literally the end of Time.......more

Goodreads review by David on April 14, 2019

It is a few years in the future, and the world is a chaotic mess, beset by war, natural calamities and the scientific reality of time collapsing in on itself. Many truly believe that the end is near. (Hello, We Can Save us All. I think we’re gonna be friends.) Charismatic Princeton dropout Mathias B......more

Goodreads review by Nate on March 13, 2019

How can a book about a cult based on drugs, superheroes, and sex be bad? At times I thought I was in on the ground floor. Other times I wasn't sure if it was serious. In the end, it is a straight forward love story with a very strange backdrop. Never really felt like I truly connected with the narra......more
