This is Wanderers, Chuck Wendig's ( Star Wars: Aftermath, Blackbirds) epic new novel of a dark future that weaves everything from social media to climate change to artificial intelligence into its complex, multi-viewpoint narrative.Īhead of the book's release, SYFY WIRE talked to Wendig about its origins, writing about the apocalypse in an already dark time, and finding hope when it feels like the world's ending in slow motion. In the middle of it all are a scientist with a checkered past, a rock star looking for a new narrative, a preacher caught in a web of escalating violence, and a teenager who refuses to leave her little sister. They form a bizarre lock, coming together to follow the same path, and as their loved ones gather to shepherd them in their strange journey across the country, an apocalyptic vision of the future forms. The walkers do not stop, do not talk, cannot be slowed down, and do not seem capable of waking up. All across America, an epidemic of sleepwalking has broken out.
