NYLON'S BEST BOOKS OF 2019

A series of Turing Test-inspired poems, Soft Science grounds its exploration of questions not just of identity, but of consciousness — how to be tender and feeling, and still survive a violent world filled with artificial intelligence and automation.  Franny's poetry are meditations on the tangled intersections of technology, violence, erasure, agency, gender, and loneliness.

Read if you: love unlikely pairings. The words "Battlestar Galactica musical" are getting you excited right now.
