Earth, 2050. Pregnant, unemployed, and living back home with her father, climate scientist Quinn Buyers wonders how she got to this point in her life. Her famous scientist mother is mysteriously missing, the planet is at risk from a massive solar storm, the Transhumans want to take a colony to Titan, and her assisted living companion, a robotic meerkat, is showing clear signs of anxiety and depression. But her biggest challenge is her partner. How can she reconcile her long-distance relationship with this reserved, enigmatic cyborg? The sequel to Sarah Lahey' s debut novel and the second book in the Heartless Series, Nostalgia is Heartless delves into the world of near future, exploring a society on the brink of climate catastrophe. This time, Quinn' s adventures take her across the globe to Antarctica . . . where it rains all day, every day. Readers will delight in following Quinn' s journey as she races to save her family, her planet, and-hopefully-her love life.

2021 American Fiction Awards Finalist in Science Fiction: General "The story builds directly on the events of the previous novel, but it is self-contained enough that new readers can hop on without feeling too lost. The mix of humor, whimsy, and science makes for a climate change-centered adventure that manages to feel escapist and topical at the same time. A thrilling and immersive work of speculative climate fiction. " --Kirkus Reviews "This near-future story of a world ravaged by climate change will delight lovers of both romance and action sci-fi. Alternately funny and philosophical, this story paints a vivid, high-tech world while still packing an emotional punch. . . . The quirky characters lend a whimsical feel to the story, and Lahey is clever and inventive in imagining new technology while still dealing with relatable problems. " --BookLife "In this gripping novel set in a near future beset by relentless climate emergencies, a principled scientist grapples with personal and scientific challenges. "--Foreword Clarion Reviews
