Bunny modern

Bunny Modern is a hard-boiled comedy about love, abduction, and child care, set in a future where electricity has disappeared and fertility is on the wane, but human passions are as messy as ever,. This is the story of Clare, a nanny who packs a Glock and guards babies from childless kidnappers. Clare has undergone the standard aversion therapy to keep her from bonding with the infants she protects. But despite all her training, Clare finds herself helpless to resist the big eyes and droolly charms of her latest charge, an ineffably lovable baby named Soda. Bunny Modern is the strange saga of Clare and Soda, as told by Dylan, an investigator who's fallen in love with Clare while looking into a connection between Soda's parents and the disappearance of electricity years earlier. First admiring Clare from afar and then joining her in a series of adventures on Manhattan's gaslit streets, Dylan unfolds a tale in which Lit Wear (Melville trousers, Jane Eyre blouses), carrier pigeons, fertility monuments, a drug called Vengeance, and the Jersey Bounce Dance Studio all figure with mysterious coherence.
