About the book
Set in San Francisco, the novel follows Lois Clary, a software engineer at the robotics company General Dexterity who writes code all day and collapses at night. Her only regular human contact is with the two brothers who run the small restaurant where she orders dinner each evening. When visa problems force them to close, they hand her their sourdough starter and tell her to keep it alive by feeding it every day and playing it music, and to learn baking with it. Robin Sloan also wrote Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore.
Brad Feld, co-founder of Foundry Group, said he loved it and found it even tastier than Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, his favorite book of 2013.

Sourdough: I loved this one. Robin Sloan’s previous book, Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore, was my favorite book of 2013 (thanks Geraldine!) Sourdough was even tastier.
