God Is a Tequila Worm - by Tim Rousseau (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Peter is terrified-aware of his losing battle with Alzheimer's and unable to communicate with his loved ones gathered around him. While they fight over what is to be done with him-nursing home or home care-he grapples with the deteriorating threads of memories distorted by time, fear, and the fragments of outside conversation he can manage to follow. Elsewhere, Johanna's employer takes possession of a fully autonomous, simulated universe she's created on their equipment with plans to turn it into a luxury resort for disaffected citizens of her own universe. She cannot stand for this. In this story of family obligation, existential terror, and revolutionary optimism, Peter and Johanna must struggle against their given lots in life for something greater-an overcoming of despair and an indestructible hope for a more human future.
