PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF A VISIT FROM THE GOON SQUAD 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.
