A riveting, beautifully written, fugue-like novel of AIs, memory, violence, and mortality
Not
far in the future the seas have risen and the central latitudes are
emptying, but it’s still a good time to be rich in San Francisco, where
weapons drones patrol the skies to keep out the multitudinous poor.
Irina isn’t rich, not quite, but she does have an artificial memory that
gives her perfect recall and lets her act as a medium between her
various employers and their AIs, which are complex to the point of
opacity. It’s a good gig, paying enough for the annual visits to the
Mayo Clinic that keep her from aging.
Kern has no such access;
he’s one of the many refugees in the sprawling drone-built favelas on
the city’s periphery, where he lives like a monk, training relentlessly
in martial arts, scraping by as a thief and an enforcer. Thales is from a
different world entirely—the mathematically inclined scion of a
Brazilian political clan, he’s fled to L.A. after the attack that left
him crippled and his father dead.
A ragged stranger accosts
Thales and demands to know how much he can remember. Kern flees for his
life after robbing the wrong mark. Irina finds a secret in the
reflection of a laptop’s screen in her employer’s eyeglasses. None are
safe as they’re pushed together by subtle forces that stay just out of
sight.
Vivid, tumultuous, and propulsive, Void Star is Zachary Mason’s mind-bending follow-up to his bestselling debut, The Lost Books of theOdyssey.
