| Synopsis: |
IT IS 2031 and the must-have gadget is the Holophin: a tiny, dolphin-shaped microprocessor which cures your worst impulses and phobias, comforts you in your grief or boredom and makes everything look much, much prettier. Hatsuka and Max are students at the esteemed Takin International School, a learning institute so magnificent it produces Holophins as a by-product of its coursework projects. The billionth device has just been sold, but when Takin's best students are stalked by a shady rival manufacturer, Holophin's monopoly, and the narrative itself, begins to unravel - with unexpected consequences. This hallucinatory and darkly funny sci-fi mystery is the debut novella by acclaimed poet Luke Kennard, a refracted meditation on identity, technology and the imagination. Published in hardback in a numbered, limited edition of 300. E-book also available. |
