From New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, In the Lives of Puppets is a queer retelling of the Pinocchio tale, inviting you deep into the heart of a peculiar forest and on the extraordinary journey of a family assembled from spare parts.
‘A deeply stirring journey through a world of extraordinary robots’ – Chuck Tingle, Hugo-shortlisted author of Camp Damascus
*A New York Times, Sunday Times and Indie Bestseller* *Winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Science Fiction*
In a small home, built into the branches of a tree, live a human named Victor and three robots. These are a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, a small vacuum desperate for love and attention, and a fatherly inventor-android named Giovanni Lawson. Together they’re a family, hidden and safe.
Then Vic salvages an unfamiliar android labelled ‘HAP’. He learns that Hap and Gio share a dark past, where they hunted humans. And Hap unwittingly gives away Gio’s location. Before they know it, robots from Gio’s former life arrive – to capture and return the android to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams.
The rest of the unconventional family must travel across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommissioning. Or worse, reprogramming. Along the way, Vic must decide if he can handle his feelings for Hap – even if they come with strings attached.
Inspired by Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful standalone fantasy adventure from the author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.
In the Lives of Puppets was a No. 1 Sunday Times HB Bestseller w/c 24/04/2023.

Es difícil calificar este libro, ya que es totalmente distinto a cualquier cosa que he leído. Como suele hacer Klune, desmonta los estereotipos de las novelas y las formas comunes de narrar para convertirlas en algo propio y totalmente novedoso.En esta historia nos encontramos con una mezcla de un retelling de Pinocho con el Mago de Oz. De ambos ha exprimido las nociones generales más básicas y las ha mezclado todas en un viaje de autodescubrimiento y amistad a través de un mundo distópico gobernado por robots.Si bien es una historia “cozy” en cuanto a sentimientos, la ambientación un poco violenta no hace que sea un libro totalmente tierno. Los personajes son simplemente alucinantes, como cada uno de ellos aporta una pieza clave a la historia y el lector termina haciéndose su amigo. Nurse Ratchet, un robot médico sarcástica y con tendencias psicóticas, y Rambo, un robot aspirador que tiene la personalidad exacta de un perrito. Ambos son fabulosos y ya les estoy echando de menos.Lo
