A Laurelville college dropout and aspiring model, Sonja swore off men and dating apps, and especially men on dating apps…until she met Jonas. A straight-A student and prospective counselor, Jonas had no time for dating and women…until he met Sonja. They spent three hundred hours, ninety days, three months, in the talking phase—and now they’re finally ready to meet in person. A first date at their local favorite café Out of This World sounds perfect—but when Sonja shows up at the decided time and day, she finds Jonas missing from the café. Did they get their wires crossed? Was it a different location? Or worse…did he just not show up? Little does she know, Jonas is experiencing a similar fate at his local Laurelville café. The two assume they’ve been stood up, and although it may be the trend of the times, it hurts nonetheless. However, a quick video call turns their despair into confusion, if it’s the same time, date and place…what’s different?
Enka meets Mathilde in art school. Mathilde is a dizzyingly talented yet tortured artist whose star is on the rise—and Enka, struggling to make art that feels original, is immediately drawn to her. The two strike up an intense bond that soon turns codependent. But when Mathilde’s fame reaches new heights, Enka becomes desperate to keep her best friend close—no matter the cost. Enka quickly falls in love with and marries a billionaire whose family’s company is funding an unconventional technology purported to heighten empathy, which could allow someone else to inhabit Mathilde’s mind and absorb the trauma from her brain. Soon, the boundaries between Mathilde and Enka begin to blur even further, setting in motion a disturbing series of events that forever changes their lives. This novel deftly navigates big questions of art, technology, authorship, and what makes us human.
Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family”. But when he meets an eccentric young neighbour, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known. This novel was published sixty-years ago and is still one of the most popular sci-fi books of all time.
