by Noah Hawley (Author)

From the bestselling author of Before the Fall, a chilling and prophetic allegory of America as it is now and as it could be.

"Hawley taps into our existential anxiety--and transforms it into a hefty page turner that's equal parts horrific, catastrophic and, at times, strangely entertaining." --New York Times Book Review

It begins with a Song ...

In a country divided by pandemic, climate change, and incendiary rhetoric, a new plague infects American teens via social media: a contagious new meme spreading chaos and fear. Desperate parents look for something, anything to stop the madness.

At the Float Anxiety Abasement Center, in a suburb of Chicago, Simon Oliver is trying to recover from his sister's tragic passing. He breaks out to join a woman named Louise and a man called the Prophet on a quest as urgent as it is enigmatic. Who lies at the end of the road? A man known as the Wizard, whose past encounter with Louise sparked her own collapse.

Their quest becomes a rescue mission as those most in danger race to save one life--and the country's future.

Anthem is rich with unforgettably vivid characters, as fast and bright as pop cinema. Noah Hawley takes readers along for a leap into the idiosyncratic pulse of the American heart, written with the playfulness, biting wit, literary power, and foresight that have made him one of our most essential writers.
