An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green (4/5)

If you like robots, world ending scenarios, and good representations of sexuality and race without the book being about it, then this book is for you! Hank Green, the hilarious and brilliant internet creator you may know from youtube and tiktok, has written an incredible fiction novel called, “An Absolutely Remarkable Thing”.

The main character, April May, is the first person to find a giant transformer-like statue in the middle of New York. She makes a youtube video with her friend Andy and they go viral as the discoverers of the Carls. The Carls are statues just like the one April found that appeared spontaneously everywhere all over the world. Through conspiracy theories, brain melting puzzles, and tv interviews April finds her way through fame and identity, all while battling the possibility of the end of the world.

The story of April finding her true self is wonderfully interlaced with humor, robots, and action making this an incredible read. I definitely recommend this novel to anyone looking for a humorous but emotional sci-fi novel that will keep you hooked from page one!
