520    "'Onyebuchi sets fire to the boundary between fiction and 
       reality, and brings a crumbling city and an all too 
       plausible future to vibrant life. Riveting, disturbing, 
       and rendered in masterful detail.'-Leigh Bardugo In his 
       adult novel debut, Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and NAACP Image 
       Award finalist and ALA Alex and New England Book Award 
       winner Tochi Onyebuchi delivers a sweeping science fiction
       epic in the vein of Samuel R. Delany and Station Eleven In
       the 2050s, Earth has begun to empty. Those with the means 
       and the privilege have departed the great cities of the 
       United States for the more comfortable confines of space 
       colonies. Those left behind salvage what they can from the
       collapsing infrastructure. As they eke out an existence, 
       their neighborhoods are being cannibalized. Brick by brick,
       their houses are sent to the colonies, what was once a 
       home now a quaint reminder for the colonists of the world 
       that they wrecked. A primal biblical epic flung into the 
       future, Goliath weaves together disparate narratives-a 
       space-dweller looking at New Haven, Connecticut as a 
       chance to reconnect with his spiraling lover; a group of 
       laborers attempting to renew the promises of Earth's 
       crumbling cities; a journalist attempting to capture the 
       violence of the streets; a marshal trying to solve a 
       kidnapping-into a richly urgent mosaic about race, class, 
       gentrification, and who is allowed to be the hero of any 
       history"--|cProvided by publisher.
