The Maze of Transparencies

By Karen An-hwei Lee

Book Overview

Fiction. Asian & Asian American Studies. "A former data cloud narrates the story of its creator, Yang, a former tech elite after a digital shutdown collapses the technocracy and discorporates vast clouds of data, as he undertakes a journey to find, among the ruins of the mezzopolis, the seven harbingers of happiness. But this cloud is also a poet, which is to say, LEE'S WRITING DAZZLINGLY ILLUMINATES THE INNER LIFE OF DATA... This is a polyglot guide to existential collapse, a multivalent antiserum for the promises of technological progress. WE NEED THIS BOOK."--Evelyn Hampton

"Karen An-hwei Lee is brilliant."--Harold Abramowitz
