It's 2020, and there's an environmental crisis brewing in the Greenland ice sheet that's a threat to everyone on the planet. But California girl Camilla Brightly is an expat just trying to make a buck at her offbeat PR firm. Their latest project? Everyone on staff has to get their "domestic helpmates" --anything from dishwashers to disco balls--networked via a client's "smart" home automation system. Camille doesn't want Big Brother knowing that the only thing in her freezer is the makings for a vodka smoothie, but that's not the worst of her problems.A hacker intent on taking down her firm stumbles across a secret Camilla didn't even know she was keeping, and her refrigerator turns out to be so smart it's figured out how to stalk her. Global warming has reached a tipping point--and so has Camilla. She can't save the world...but can she save herself?With the help of an adorably nerdy co-worker, Camilla sets out to untangle herself from her less-than-harmonious home, foil a blackmailer, and face down an ecological disaster that might change life as she knows it forever. "Wake"--the prequel to "An Etiquette Guide to the End Times"--is a darkly funny and Apocalyptic(ish) story of climate change, unruly appliances, and finding a place to belong.

5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A Crazy, Funny, Nightmarish Future, right here in Toronto. By carole Daniels I follow Maia Sepp because I enjoy her writing style - easy, flowing and often very funny - and because her subject matter is refreshingly different. The story line in "Wake," as in "An Etiquette Guide to the End Times," is bold and challenging: Climate change. A techie world gone mad. Revengeful hacks, spies and lies. Relationships. Immigration nightmares.I got caught up with Camilla Brightly's multiple difficulties and rooted for her. I worried about her. With her I felt the longing for some place that was hers, a place to which she belonged - home. Home: and then came memories of her dead mother which were powerful. Her father whom she loved dearly, gone - all the way to Greenland among melting ice sheets. News of him added to her worries and foretold a future nightmare for everyone.While some might find the subject matter slightly on the dark side, the future a little bleak, the story is told with wonderful humour.There are scenes that are hilarious, suggesting that everything might not really be so dire after all.On another note, I found the scene with the Toronto Police Department pitch perfect - oh how I related!
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Wake is a must read! By tania2atee ‘Wake’ is the prequel to ‘An Etiquette Guide to the End Times’ a soft sci-fi series by Maia Sepp, and humouroulsy gives us a peek into the future of “smart appliances” and how we may not be able to ever be un-connected. Sepp’s easy and humorous writing style makes for a great read. The book follows Camilla Brightly as she navigates her job, an internet hacker, and her car - which seems to have a mind of its own, all while keeping tabs on her father and trying to hide from her refrigerator! It’s a must read!
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A Gem! By ShaynaKrish Another terrific book from the incomparable Maia Sepp! Like her first title in this series - An Etiquette Guide to the End Times - Camilla is a charming heroine struggling to deal with life's various curve balls and making hilarious mistakes. A fascinating look at what the future might hold for us all, including menacing refrigerators and, you know, the looming end times. A gem of a prequel.
