Historia
Ada Sibelius is raised by David, a single father and head of a computer science lab in Boston. Homeschooled, she accompanies her loving father - brilliant, eccentric, socially inept - to work every day. By 12 she is a painfully shy prodigy. At the same time that the lab begins to gain acclaim, David's mind begins to falter, and his mysterious past comes into question. When her father moves into a nursing home, Ada is taken in by one of David's colleagues. She embarks on a mission to uncover her father's secrets.

Appreciated but Not Enjoyed
- De Margot T. en 01-21-17
On the surface The Unseen World is a riveting mystery, a dynamic work of fiction, and a refined species of speculative sci-fi. At its core it is an emotionally-taught novel that tackles the contradiction of our modern age of information; that we are more connected and "knowledgeable" than ever, but at the same time, more isolated and less-experienced. For Ada Limon, friendship, family, and identity are abstractions to be understood, instead of realities to confront. That is until her socially-inept father slides tragically into the depths of Alzheimer’s. As Ada comes to grips with an alien world that treats her as such, Moore leads her listeners through the agile perspective of a young woman trying desperately to make sense of herself. Bolstered by Lisa Flanagan’s poised narration, the voice of Ada and her childlike yet miraculous mind leaves a bold imprint on anyone who follows this story to its quick-witted conclusion.

Sal seems to appear out of nowhere - a bruised and tattered 13-year-old boy claiming to be the devil himself answering an invitation. Fielding Bliss, the son of a local prosecutor, brings him home, where he's welcomed into the Bliss family, who assume he's a runaway from a nearby farm town.

Historia
More than two centuries after World War III poisoned the planet, the final bastion of humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe in search of a habitable area to call home. Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to Earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers - men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need.
