The new book by the contemporary American writer Nora Jemisin (b. 1972) deals with the interpenetration of people and cities through a sci-fi plot.) is about the interpenetration of people and the cities where they live, based on the development of a fantastic plot: an unknown alien white force seeks to destroy cities, in this case New York, but each of its five major boroughs (Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island) has its own avatar, and there is also an avatar of the whole city, thanks to their joint actions during various adventures the city is lucky to be saved. The work is imbued with human warmth and sophisticated psychology, we see ordinary, almost ordinary people who are imbued with the interests of the city, feel their kinship with it and jealously defend it. And the main character, of course, is New York itself.
