Prepare yourself for an unconventional approach to a provocative novel with a poetic vision.

In the post-monetary world people are coded as "valid" or "invalid"—no citizenship, homeless, no access to goods or services. One day, a glitch in the global information system suddenly switches everyone’s coding, and people instantly lose or gain everything. Beginning with elderly Sequoia, whose switch from valid to invalid thrusts her into poverty and homelessness, three women struggle with this massive shift in their lives, challenging systemic assumptions about class, age, gender, and migration along the way.
