About the book
What if the end of the world was… quiet? No fire, no screaming, no four horsemen—just the sudden, inexplicable disappearance of all the noise. The texts stop. The emails vanish. The traffic disappears. The world outside your apartment goes completely, blissfully silent. For most people, this would be terrifying. For one unnamed narrator, it's a dream come true.
Armed with a talking couch, a coffee maker with opinions, a ceiling stain named Gerald, and a lifetime of skills honed in the art of avoidance, she settles in to enjoy the peace. But the apocalypse, it turns out, is not a solo activity. When a neighbor knocks, a water pump breaks, and a fire threatens the building, she is forced to confront the one thing she has spent a lifetime avoiding: other people. This is a hilarious, sharply observed, and surprisingly moving satire about what happens when the world finally stops demanding your attention—and what you do when you realize you might, just maybe, want some of it back.
