Disappearance (Paperback, New)

Fiction. "DISAPPEARANCE is a magical tale of the struggle to make sense of a multilayered world in which change is the only thing to be sure of--to hold on to somehow--even when what you're holding is never still, and so making sense means letting go. Here games and game worlds are sometimes a metaphor of sorts, and sometimes more tangibly, technologically actual. Like Cronenberg's strange sci fi reverie, eXistenZ, in which 'real' and 'virtual' are twisted to the point where you no longer can tell them apart, in this novel games do something more than transport you to other dimensions or layers in time and space. They ultimately transform you, and you will never be the same. Then again, it appears that you were never the same anyway, but always other. Reading DISAPPEARANCE, I am other."--Jenny Sunden, author of Gender and Sexuality in Online Game Cultures
