A heartfelt, hilarious tale of a famous trend forecaster who suddenly
finds herself at odds with her own predictions...and her own heart.
Estranged from her family, best friends with her driverless car,
partnered with a Frenchman who believes in post-sexual sex,
international trend forecaster Sloane Jacobsen is the perfect candidate
to lead tech giant Mammoth's conference for affluent consumers who
prefer virtual relationships to the real thing. But early in her
contract, Sloane starts picking up on cues that physical intimacy is
going to make a major comeback, leaving many--Sloane included--to
question if the forty-year-old's intutions are as dependable as they
once were. And if Sloane goes rogue against her all-powerful employer,
will she be able to let in the love and connectedness she's long been
denying herself?
A poignant but amusing call to arms that showcases Courtney Maum's
signature humor, Touch is a moving investigation into what it means to
be an individual in a globalized world.
