One of Vol. 1 Brooklyn's Favorite Fiction Books of 2017, a Literary Hub Staff Favorite Book of 2017, and one of BOMB Magazine's 'Looking Back on 2017: Literature' Selections.'Wondrous . . . [A] sense of the erratic and tangential quality of everyday lifeeven if its displaced into a bizarre, parallel worlddrifts off the page, into the world you see, after reading Dear Cyborgs.' Hua Hsu, The New YorkerIn a small Midwestern town, two Asian American boys bond over their outcast status and a mutual love of comic books. Meanwhile, in an alternative or perhaps future universe, a team of superheroes ponder modern society during their time off. Between blackops missions and rescuing hostages, they swap stories of artistic malaise and muse on the seemingly inescapable grip of market economics.Gleefully toying with the conventions of the novel, Dear Cyborgs weaves together the story of a friendships dissolution with a provocative and timely meditation on protest. Through a series of linked monologues, a lively cast of characters explores narratives of resistanceprotest art, ecoterrorists, Occupy squatters, pyromaniacal militantsand the extent to which any of these can truly withstand and influence the cold demands of contemporary capitalism. All the while, a mysterious cybernetic book of clairvoyance beckons, and trusted allies start to disappear.Entwining comicbook villains with cultural critiques, Eugene Lims Dear Cyborgs is a fleetfooted literary exploration of power, friendship, and creativity. Ambitious and knowing, it combines detective pulps, subversive philosophy, and Hollywood chase scenes, unfolding like the composites and revelations of a dream.
