"An Absolutely Remarkable Thing" by Hank Green tells the story of April May, a young woman who becomes famous after discovering a mysterious robot statue named Carl. This discovery leads to a global phenomenon, as more of these robots appear worldwide, and many people begin experiencing a shared dream associated with them. April uses her newfound fame to try and promote a positive understanding of the Carls, and attempts to unravel their mysteries along with her friends.
