The three basic human needs are food, water...and shelter. But in the late 21st century, compassion is a crime. You can get your memories wiped just for trying to help. Papa Preston Walford's world doesn't allow for coincidences. Accidents. Secrets in the backs of closets. Or the needs of his own daughter. Meredith Preston has reason to seek shelter. She needs protection from the monsters in her mind, in her history, in her family. And the great storms of a changing climate have made literal shelter imperative.

I would argue this is not a science fiction novel since the science (AI) and the fantasy (post apocalyptic) world in which the book is written doesn't really provide the crisis for the story, very much in the same vein as Station 11. I thought the book was articulate but overlong and preyed upon the fears most (every?) parents have for their children in a way that I found to be a bit too easy, like a jump scare in a horror film; it didn't feel earned. Many will enjoy this book but I bet just as many will not.
