Longtime friends JP and Dulin are heading out on a final hurrah (though only JP realizes that): a weeklong bus tour of America's Impossibles, a series of, well, impossible sights throughout the country. These anomalies started appearing seven years ago, when it was announced that we're all living in a simulation (though nobody knows who's running it). Also on the tour are a quartet of cackling octogenarians, a pregnant teen influencer, a rabbi and two nuns who are traveling together, a conspiracy theorist podcaster and his bored son, a professor on the run from Matrix-inspired sociopaths, and a tour guide on her very first tour ever.
I've loved every book I've read by Gregory, and this one may top them all. It's hilarious, thought-provoking, and may get me to finally pick up Canterbury Tales to see how much of an homage this science fiction take is (aside from the obvious, of course — the bus tour company is called Canterbury Trails). I absolutely loved this book, and I'll be recommending it to everyone.
