About The Breakup by Kurt Andersen

In a near-future United States reshaped by civil war, political division, and AI, Natalie and Asher are living far apart: she in rural Tennessee, now part of the Free American Republic, and he in a smaller United States. Their marriage has its own long-standing differences, reflecting the strains dividing the country.

When they come together to tour colleges with their seventeen-year-old, a road trip brings their family into contact with a changed and uncertain national landscape. Kurt Andersen’s novel connects the intimate questions of a relationship under pressure with the larger question of whether a divided nation—and a family—can mend. It will interest readers of speculative and political fiction, especially those drawn to stories about marriage, technology, and American social fractures.
