Goliath: A Novel

Tochi Onyebuchi

Riveting, disturbing, and rendered in masterful detail.
-Leigh Bardugo

In the 2050s, Earth has begun to empty. Those with the means and the privilege have left 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. Their neighborhoods are being cannibalized, brick by brick, with materials being sent up to the colonies as a quaint reminder 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 as a chance to reconnect with his spiraling lover; a group of civil servants attempting to renew the promises of Earth’s crumbling cities; a journalist attempting to capture the violence of the streets; a marshal questioning what form justice could even take-into a richly urgent mosaic about race, class, gentrification, and who is allowed to be the hero of any history.
