Books Absolutely remarkable thing

The novel follows the story of April May, a twenty-three-year-old who stumbles upon a giant, ten-foot-tall sculpture in New York City at 3 a.m. After she and a friend make a video with the sculpture, which she names "Carl," the video goes viral as identical sculptures appear in cities all over the world. April becomes an overnight sensation and is thrust into a global mystery surrounding the origin and purpose of these "Carls," grappling with sudden fame, internet culture, and what it means to be the focal point of humanity's first contact with something alien.
