We Can Save Us All — DEBUT Novel (The Unnamed Press, 2018)

Welcome to The Egg, an off-campus geodesic dome where David Fuffman and his crew of alienated Princeton students train for what might be the end of days. Funded by the charismatic Mathias Blue and fueled by performance enhancers and psychedelic drugs, a student revolution incubates at The Egg, inspired by the superheroes that dominate American culture. The arrival of Haley Roth―an impassioned heroine with a dark secret―propels David and Mathias to expand their movement across college campuses nationwide, inspiring a cult-like following. As the final superstorm arrives, they toe the line between good and evil, deliverance and demagogues, the damned and the saved. 

• One of Booklist's "Top 10 Debut Novels of 2018."

• "Nemett captures a group whose unfettered exuberance is seldom found in today's novels." — The New York Times Book Review

• "Nemett's wondrously fresh novel positively bursts with charm, heart, and invention." — Booklist, Starred Review

• "Nemett’s recipe for disaster is sound—a dash of Pynchon, a hint of Neal Stephenson, and a nihilistic undertone that belies a semihopeful denouement... a confident, visceral debut that’s worth the ride." —Kirkus Reviews
