The Data Gardeners
by Jorge Sanchez
In a noisy, divided world, The Data Gardeners argue that compassion is still the most radical force we have.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Meet Chanito — traveler, drummer, smartass philosopher, and accidental hero.
He’s on assignment to collect 10,000 human stories for a mysterious organization known as the TDG.
Simple job.
Except time sometimes slows when danger strikes.
His dead brothers won’t stop talking to him.
A purple-eyed woman keeps appearing at the edges of his journey.
And his handler, Boo-boo, might know more than he’s saying.
From Mumbai’s slums to Manila’s back-alley clubs, every story Chanito gathers leaves a ripple. Every connection alters something unseen. And with each chapter, he edges closer to a truth about grief, legacy, and the quiet ways ordinary people change the world.
A soulful, speculative adventure about brothers who never say “I love you,” about fathers and sons, about Latinidad, and about the magic hiding inside human connection.
For readers who want science fiction with heart — and a Puerto Rican hero at the center of the universe.
