Provocative, profound and yes, a little unsettling,  Come With Me  is about how technology breaks apart and then reconfigures a family, and though it has hints of sci-fi, it’s so beautifully grounded in reality that it seems to breathe. Although it takes place over just three days, what’s so fascinating is that so many lives, and many possibilities, are lived through it. Truly, it’s a novel like its own multiverse.”    —  San Francisco Chronicle From Helen Schulman, the acclaimed author of the New York Times bestseller This Beautiful Life, comes another "gripping, potent, and blisteringly well-written story of family, dilemma, and consequence" (Elizabeth Gilbert)—a mind-bending novel set in Silicon Valley that challenges our modern constructs of attachment and love, purpose and fate. "What do you want to know?" Amy Reed works part-time as a PR person for a tech start-up, run by her college roommate’s nineteen-year-old son, in Palo Alto, California. Donny is a baby genius, a junior at Stanford in his spare time. His play for fortune is an algorithm that may allow people access to their "multiverses"—all the planes on which their alternative life choices can be played out simultaneously—to see how the decisions they’ve made have shaped their lives. Donny wants Amy to be his guinea pig. And even as she questions Donny’s theories and motives, Amy finds herself unable to resist the lure of the road(s) not taken. Who would she be if she had made different choices, loved different people? Where would she be now? Amy’s husband, Dan—an unemployed, perhaps unemployable, print journalist—accepts a dare of his own, accompanying a seductive, award-winning photographer named Maryam on a trip to Fukushima, the Japanese city devastated by tsunami and meltdown. Collaborating with Maryam, Dan feels a renewed sense of excitement and possibility he hasn’t felt with his wife in a long time. But when crisis hits at home, the extent of Dan’s betrayal is exposed and, as Amy contemplates alternative lives, the couple must confront whether the distances between them in the here and now are irreconcilable. Taking place over three non-consecutive but vitally important days for Amy, Dan, and their three sons, Come with Me is searing, entertaining, and unexpected—a dark comedy that is ultimately both a deeply romantic love story and a vivid tapestry of modern life. “An extraordinarily smart, funny morality tale about an ordinary family … doing ordinary things in an ordinary place and time, but with shocking results…. The finest novels, including This Beautiful Life , shove their readers a few degrees off-center, forcing us out of our certainties and into new vantage points from which to view the world we live in and the parts we play in it.” - Boston Globe on This Beautiful Life “Begins as a titillating, ripped-from-the-headlines beach read, but it ends as an emotionally wrenching social critique…. It works, because it lets the narrative sneak up on you in a way that is both thrilling and satisfying. To our surprise, this isn’t a story we know after all.” - Slate on This Beautiful Life “Helen Schulman is one of the most gifted writers of our generation.” - Jennifer Egan, author of Manhattan Beach “Strikingly original, compelling and beautifully written…. Has the humor and wit, the careful eye for social detail and astute character development, that made her previous novel a bestseller.” - New York Times Book Review “Think: ‘Sliding Doors’ meets ‘Silicon Valley.’” - The Skimm “Wise… Playful.” - Minneapolis Star Tribune “A rich, closely observed story…. Schulman has a gift for vividly tracing the fallout of the domestic realm …. Poignantly captures the wonder, as well as the cluelessness, of how we live now.” - Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air “Gripping.” - Esquire “Plays creatively with the universal question, ‘What if?’” - New Yorker “Delves into the interplay of technology and relationships with edgy, upsetting and tragic results. And yet, the story is also warm, wise and witty.... Come With Me respects the human right to feel more than one thing at one time: Sadness and amusement, love and hate, edginess and safety. It’s the kind of all-encompassing acceptance that makes the book feel both contemporary and classic.” - Washington Post “Ingenious... It’s jarring, and a measure of Schulman’s inventiveness and skill, to be reminded that what we’re reading isn’t satire; it’s our everyday.” - O, the Oprah Magazine “Smart, timely, and highly entertaining.” - Sarah Lyall, New York Times “A sharply observed, entertaining and occasionally heartrending novel that may help readers appreciate thei
