Take an epic journey across post-apocalyptic America... A century after the apocalypse, three factions vie for the scraps of a blighted world: a race of sentient machines, a mindless horde of undead, and the faltering remnants of humanity. Living with his robotic dog in the crumbling library of a dead city, fifteen-year-old Tristan just wants to be left alone. When Echo, a childhood friend, draws him into a violent clash, however, the two of them are forced to flee into the wastes with a roving army on their heels. Their goal: a distant Utopian enclave. Their route: a hazardous path through the zombified ruins of once-great cites, deep into territory held by sentient robots. Along the way, Tristan's feelings for Echo grow--but does she genuinely reciprocate, or is she only doing what's necessary to survive? Can they find a measure of peace together in the hostile ruins of a dead civilization, or is even the enclave just another lie? Love, Death, Robots, and Zombies takes three sci-fi cliches (robots, zombies, and the apocalypse), mashes them together, embraces them, and ends up more entertaining than it has any right to be.

A Fog of Lies... In the city of Panchaea, society's elite are given godlike powers by a "fog" of microscopic machines. Instead of using the Fog to benefit humankind, however, the Plutarchs use their power to reinforce their own lofty positions. The Plebians under their rule, ignorant of the Fog's true nature, are bred to believe in the Divinity of their masters ... until the most loyal Plebian of all undergoes a life-changing journey, not only opening his eyes but giving him the one tool necessary to fight back.
