The Time Meowchine
About
One of New York Magazine’s 10 Best Comedy Books of 2023
Our feline cyborg hero must prevent climate “apawcalypse” by zapping back to 2000 in this bonkers science-fiction adventure.
2040: Earth’s in trouble. Brilliant inventor Dr. Tara Switcher, an elder millennial (like all millennials), tried to save the environment, but politicians banned her controversial technology. Now she’s surviving day to day with Blink, her sweetly optimistic, brain-chipped kitty named after Blink-182.
2000: There’s still hope. Tara is a punk-rock teenage activist who can’t persuade anybody of anything … until her zealous antics in Florida spoil everything for eco-friendly Vice President Al Gore. And for the rest of humanity. (Oops.) But can history be unwritten? Can hisstory?
The future Dr. Switcher discovers a way back to her stubborn younger self … and if she can’t alter the darkest timeline, then maybe Blink can. The Time Meowchine is a zany yet heartfelt story of interspecies friendship across the multiverse (multifurse) that will leave readers purring.
