The Emptying cover

The city is starving but the farms are bursting with food. Something is very wrong.

In the aftermath of a riot turned lethal, city-kid Acker goes looking for law and order. After a farm truck is attacked in the city, farmgirl Dot sets off to find answers. When the two teens meet, they find common ground and a terrifying truth about the future. Someone has to confront reality…what’s left of it.... And it looks like it's them.

In this dramatic, thought provoking, and prescient story Mimi and Rachel imagine a world where AI, initially  created to eradicate all human error, has gone disastrously wrong endangering the survival of the human race.
