Many books preach the power of kindness, but few treat it as radical. Fewer still embody it in the guise of a half-mad drifter trapped inside a souped-up VR bodysuit, travelling through a lush post-apocalyptic land while haunted by a motley assortment of digitalised people—including his dead mother and husband.
