Habitat invites us to witness a near-future dystopia filled with cloned animals, a sponsorship-based education system, and a subculture obsessed with body transplants as performance art—concluding 100 years in the future with a girl's post-apocalyptic quest to find her father. In this novel told through linked narratives, a father embraces a grisly family tradition to help secure a better education for his daughter after a neighborhood barbecue. A young man crashes his family’s meticulously planned annual gala to unveil his latest surgical transplant. Parents try to find a way to give their daughter the year's most sought-after Christmas gift—a clone of the canine star of a sci-fi television show. Combining body horror, science fiction, and poignant family drama, Habitat is a genre-bending and wholly original first novel.
