Description
“A gleefully apocalyptic page-turner . . .” —Kirkus Reviews
Meet Chloe and Elizabeth Yetti: antisocial, semi-homicidal eighteen-year-old twins casually surviving the AI apocalypse.
Ten years ago, a powerful machine intelligence unleashed a nanoengineered superdrug on humanity. Civilization is now a collection of mindless addicts confined to automated treatment centers that tower over drone-dominated cityscapes. Having escaped and grown up in the forests of Northern California alongside their younger brother and brilliant scientist/survivalist mother, Clo and El stayed safe while society collapsed around them.
But when a mysterious stranger and a demonic woodland creature appear and threaten their family, the twins are drawn back to a disintegrating, drug-addled San Francisco. There, biomechanical gods and monsters vie for control of what’s left of humanity’s consciousness. Armed with only a knife, an old hunting rifle, and their secret, cryptophasic twin language, Clo and El realize that surviving the apocalypse was just the beginning—now they’ve got to face it head-on.
The first book in the Babylon Twins trilogy, this epic adventure takes readers on a journey filled with sci-fi spectacle and darkly humorous twists and turns, not to mention some good old-fashioned butt-kicking. The second book in the series will be coming out in 2022.

Advance Praise
“Gibson surely has a hit on his hands with BABYLON TWINS, which snarks its way across a computerized hellscape with just the right amount of human error to be endearing instead of messy. Its boisterous prose and laugh-out loud moments of weirdness should carry it to the top of genre fans’ reading lists.”
—Famous Monsters of Filmland
“A sterling debut YA novel from author Michael Ferris Gibson sets the stage for a great science fiction trilogy."
