PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF A VISIT FROM THE GOON SQUAD A Time
Magazine Must-Read 'A complex, compelling read that showcases
Egan's masterful storytelling' TIME 'A dazzling feat of literary
construction' VOGUE From one of the most dazzling and iconic
writers of our time comes an electrifying, deeply moving novel
about the quest for authenticity, privacy, and meaning in a world
where our memories are no longer our own--featuring characters from
A Visit from the Goon Squad. It's 2010. Staggeringly successful and
brilliant tech entrepreneur Bix Bouton is desperate for a new idea.
He's forty, with four kids, and restless when he stumbles into a
conversation with mostly Columbia professors, one of whom is
experimenting with downloading or "externalising" memory. Within a
decade, Bix's new technology, Own Your Unconscious--that allows you
access to every memory you've ever had, and to share every memory
in exchange for access to the memories of others--has seduced
multitudes. But not everyone. In spellbinding linked narratives,
Egan spins out the consequences of Own Your Unconscious through the
lives of multiple characters whose paths intersect over several
decades. Intellectually dazzling and extraordinarily moving, The
Candy House is a bold, brilliant imagining of a world that is
moments away. With a focus on social media, gaming, and alternate
worlds, you can almost experience moving among dimensions in a
role-playing game. Egan takes her "deeply intuitive forays into the
darker aspects of our technology-driven, image-saturated culture"
(Vogue) to stunning new heights and delivers a fierce and
exhilarating testament to the tenacity and transcendence of human
longing for real connection, love, family, privacy and redemption.
