The Years Shall Run Like Rabbits

By (author): Ben Berman Ghan

A gorgeously complex work of literary speculative fiction that spans centuries The Years Shall Run Like Rabbits starts in 2014 with a winged alien sowing the seeds of a strange forest on the moon. The novel then moves through humanity’s colonization of the moon and its consequences, onto a war with alien beings within a spacefaring whale, a cyborg mind that sleeps for hundreds of years after sheltering the city of Toronto from the worst of the war and finally a recreation of humanity. Ghan poses thoughtful questions about artificial intelligence, humanity’s quest for the stars and ecological destruction in this wide-ranging story, which is held together equally by beautiful writing and deft characterization. The end result is an ambitious debut that leaves the reader contemplating many amazing possibilities for the future of our world.

Reviews

This book reads like a technicolour acid trip confusion and chaos in the best way difficulty finding your footing excited to see what is next It also has incredibly poetic prose and big imaginative ideas and could be called a genredefying piece of work horror and scifi literary and dystopian This is a great read for anyone who finds themselves constantly asking where is this world going and feeling worried about it


Miramichi Reader

Shot through with love stories anger at authoritarian cruelty and surreal and striking visions its an elegiac and ruminative novel a strange but moving meditation on death and change and what comes after
