THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERWho has the right to change the world forever? How will we live online? How do we find comfort in an increasingly isolated world? The Carls disappeared the same way they appeared, in an instant. While the robots were on Earth, they caused confusion and destruction with only their presence. Part of their maelstrom was the sudden viral fame and untimely death of April May: a young woman who stumbled into Carl’s path, giving them their name, becoming their advocate, and putting herself in the middle of an avalanche of conspiracy theories. Months later, April’s friends are trying to find their footing in a post-Carl world. Andy has picked up April’s mantle of fame, speaking at conferences and online; Maya, ravaged by grief, begins to follow a string of mysteries that she is convinced will lead her to April; and Miranda is contemplating defying her friends’ advice and pursuing a new scientific operation…one that might have repercussions beyond anyone’s comprehension. Just as it is starting to seem like the gang may never learn the real story behind the events that changed their lives forever, a series of clues arrive—mysterious books that seem to predict the future and control the actions of their readers—all of which seems to suggest that April could be very much alive. In the midst of the search for the truth and the search for April is a growing force, something that wants to capture our consciousness and even control our reality. A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor is the bold and brilliant follow-up to An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. It is a fast-paced adventure that is also a biting social commentary, asking hard, urgent questions about the way we live, our freedoms, our future, and how we handle the unknown.

"If I could give this book 10 stars I would. It is hopeful and adventurous and gives me a lot to think about. I love the amount of suspense in this book(I almost just wrote film because I it is so visual that it reminds me of a sci-Fi movie. I am 26 and still not sure of myself. Maya and April and Andy and Miranda are my age and I am so happy I get to see that I’m not alone in this struggle for self discovery. The story of the Carl’s was so good and needed a good ending and it got it. Although one thing that made me laugh was that hank did the one last letter trope which made me so happy just to hear from Carl one last time. y’all need to ******* read this book!!! Please"
"I couldn't think about anything else until I finished this. I haven't felt thus invested in an entirely new series/universe in years. I went in almost totally blind and really I think that's the best way to do it. "
