With praise from Alan Moore and Rachel Kushner, a groundbreaking novel told in an exciting new form, mixing fiction, memoir, prose poetry, and textual art, exploring birth, death, the Internet, and the writing life as they play out in contemporary America and telling the story of a man who wakes up one morning not knowing who he isFunny, highly inventive, and deeply moving, theMystery.doc is a vast, shapeshifting literary novel that reads like a pageturner. Its a comedy, a tragedy, a big book about America. Its unlike anything youve read before.Rooted in the western United States in the decade post9/11, the book follows a young writer and his wife as he attempts to write the followup to his first novel, searching for a form that will express the world as it has become, even as it continually shifts all around him. Popup ads, search results, web chats, snippets of conversation, lines of code, and film and television stills mix with alchemical manuscripts, classical works of literatureand the story of a man who wakes up one morning without any memory of who he is, his only clue a single blank document on his computer called themystery.doc. From text messages to The Divine Comedy, first love to artificial intelligence, the book explores what makes us humanthe stories we tell, the memories we hold on to, the memories we loseand the relationships that give our lives meaning.Part love story, part memoir, part documentary, part existential whodunit, theMystery.doc is a modern epic about the quest to find something lasting in a world where everythingand everyoneis in danger of slipping away.
