Un encantador cuento de Pinocho en el fin de los tiempos. --P. Djèlà Clark
Tres robots viven en una diminuta y peculiar casa entre las ramas de una arboleda: una máquina enfermera un poco sádica, una pequeña aspiradora desesperada por amor y atención, y Giovanni Lawson, un androide inventor. Pero también vive con ellos un humano: Victor Lawson, hijo de Gio. Refugiados y a salvo en el bosque, los cuatro forman una extraña familia.
Pero todo cambia el dÃa en que Vic rescata y repara a un androide llamado Hap, quien resulta compartir un oscuro secreto con Giovanni: un pasado dedicado a cazar humanos.
Sin ser consciente de ello, Hap alerta sobre su paradero a los robots de aquella vida anterior, y la familia deja de estar oculta y a salvo. Gio es capturado y, con el fin de impedir que lo desmantelen, o peor, que lo reprogramen, el resto emprenderá un viaje para rescatarlo a través de un mundo despiadado.
En medio de sentimientos encontrados de traición y afecto por Hap, Vic debe tomar una difÃcil decisión: es capaz de aceptar un amor con ataduras?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A NEW YORK TIMES, SUNDAY TIMESAND INDIE BESTSELLER! New York Timesbestselling author TJ Klune invites you deep into the heart of a peculiar forest and on the extraordinary journey of a family assembled from spare parts. Most Anticipated from BookPage - Goodreads - The Nerd Daily - Paste Magazine - LitReactor - OverDrive - LGBTQ Reads - Tor.com - LibraryReads An enchanting tale of Pinocchio in the end times. --P. Djèlà Clark In a strange little home built into the branches of a grove of trees, live three robots--fatherly inventor android Giovanni Lawson, a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, and a small vacuum desperate for love and attention. Victor Lawson, a human, lives there too. They're a family, hidden and safe.
The day Vic salvages and repairs an unfamiliar android labeled HAP, he learns of a shared dark past between Hap and Gio-a past spent hunting humans. When Hap unwittingly alerts robots from Gio's former life to their whereabouts, the family is no longer hidden and safe. Gio is captured and taken back to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams. So together, the rest of Vic's assembled family must journey across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommission, or worse, reprogramming. Along the way to save Gio, amid conflicted feelings of betrayal and affection for Hap, Vic must decide for himself: Can he accept love with strings attached? Inspired by Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio, and like Swiss Family Robinson meets Wall-E, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful stand-alone fantasy adventure from the beloved author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door. An epic quest of rescue and discovery [with] the author's trademark charm, heart, and bittersweetness. --Library Journal, starred review Praise for TJ Klune's previous work: Like being wrapped up in a big gay blanket. --V.E. SCHWAB - Very close to perfect. --SEANAN McGUIRE - Utterly absorbing. --GAIL CARRIGER - It will renew your faith in humanity. --TERRY BROOKS - It healed me. --CASSANDRA KHAW - Compassionate. --RYKA AOKIAlso from
