2015-07-17 19:03:00| Powells Books Events Calendar
Morning rush hour on the Golden Gate Bridge. Amidst the river of metal and glass a shocking event occurs, leaving those who witnessed it desperately looking for answers, most notably one man and his son, Jake, who captured the event and uploaded it to the Internet for all the world to experience. As the media swarms over the story, Jake will face the ramifications of his actions as he learns the perils of our modern disconnect between the real world and the world we create online. With a wide cast of characters and an exciting pace that mimics the speed of our modern, all-too-connected lives, All This Life (Soft Skull Press) examines the dangerous intersection of reality and the imaginary, where coding and technology seek to highlight and augment our already-flawed human connections. Using his trademark talent for creating memorable characters, with a deep insight into language and how it can be twisted to alter reality, Joshua Mohr returns with his most contemporary and insightful novel yet. Mohr will be joined in conversation by Cari Luna, author of The Revolution of Every Day.
