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 belives 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 things. 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 intuitions 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.
