Summary

“If We Make It Through This Alive” by A.T. Greenblatt, narrated by Wil Welcome, friends. I'm Wil Wheaton, and it's Story Time. I must confess that dystopian fiction currently doesn't have the impossible distance from the present for me that it once did. A story about three women navigating crumbling roads and misogyny in equal measure on a dangerous and frequently deadly road race could have come from this morning's paper; we just happened to pluck it from the pages of TK PUBLICATION. Get ready to meet three women who have come together with everything at stake, to literally drive toward a shared goal, without losing sight of their individual goals -- or themselves -- along the way. This is If We Make It Through This Alive.
