Mar '23 Notable Books: David B. Auerbach, Eleanor Catton, Gerardo Sámano Córdova & Rachel Heng
A recurring series on the most interesting book releases of the month...
Birnam Wood - Eleanor Catton (Mar. 7) - A gripping psychological thriller from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Luminaries, Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its wit, drama, and immersion in character. A brilliantly constructed consideration of intentions, actions, and consequences, it is an unflinching examination of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.
Monstrilio - Gerardo Sámano Córdova (Mar. 7) - A literary horror debut about a boy who transforms into a monster, a monster who tries to be a man, and the people who love him in every form he takes.
Meganets: How Digital Forces Beyond Our Control Commandeer Our Daily Lives and Inner Realities - David B. Auerbach (Mar. 14) - How the autonomous digital forces jolting our lives – as uncontrollable as the weather and plate tectonics – are transforming life, society, culture, and politics. As we increasingly integrate our society, culture and politics within a hyper-networked fabric, Auerbach explains how the interactions of billions of people with unfathomably large online networks have produced a new sort of ever-changing systems that operate beyond the control of the individuals, companies, and governments that created them.
The Great Reclamation - Rachel Heng (Mar. 28) - Set against a changing Singapore, a sweeping novel about one boy's unique gifts and the childhood love that will complicate the fate of his community and country.
