"Wondrous . . . [A] sense of the erratic and tangential quality of everyday life―even if it’s displaced into a bizarre, parallel world―drifts off the page, into the world you see, after reading Dear Cyborgs ." ―Hua Hsu, The New Yorker In 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 black-ops 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 friendship’s dissolution with a provocative and timely meditation on protest. Through a series of linked monologues, a lively cast of characters explores narratives of resistance―protest art, eco-terrorists, Occupy squatters, pyromaniacal militants―and 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 comic-book villains with cultural critiques, Eugene Lim’s Dear Cyborgs is a fleet-footed 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. Review: I might say I liked one or two of those other books more (they ... - This is my first book review. I've read books by Cormac McCarthy, Denis Johnson and Umberto Eco since reading Dear Cyborgs. Depending on the day, I might say I liked one or two of those other books more (they are all very, very good books). But, it is Eugene Lim's book that I think has stayed with me the longest. I'm really not sure if it was the unique structure, the subject matter (I'm attracted to future scenarios, technology and Zizek-esque economic imaginings) or the frequent passages of well-considered and beautiful writing, but something about it was surprising in a great way and I just wanted to say thanks here so that the author might sometime see it. Review: Great writing, loved the prose and rhythm - A little all over the place, but that was kinda the point. Great writing, loved the prose and rhythm. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #710,591 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,117 in Political Fiction (Books) #4,932 in Fiction Satire #20,273 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 64 Reviews | ## Images ![Dear Cyborgs: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/917wjRsZgBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I might say I liked one or two of those other books more (they ... *by D***E on August 14, 2017* This is my first book review.
