- Jo Walton's new novel, 'Everybody's Perfect,' is beautiful, profound, and unlike any of her previous works.
- The book is structured like Ada Palmer's 'Inventing the Renaissance,' with each chapter from a different character's perspective in a phantom Venice called the Serenissima.
- In the Serenissima, belief shapes reality, and residents greet each other with 'I see you' to prevent disappearing.
- The novel explores eight races from parallel worlds, with a prophecy of a low-born doge bringing peace.
- Walton blends elements from her earlier works, creating a dreamlike and captivating narrative.
