Journey under the midnight sun (白夜行, byakuyakō) - keigo higashino

This book is like a TV show; Twin Peaks. The story was originally serialized in 25 stories from January 1997 to January 1999 in the monthly Japanese novel magazine Subaru. Now it is packed in a book and ready to be absorbed in a single shot. The thriller takes place in Osaka, involves a multitude of characters, each more intriguing that the other. The story navigates through layers of the Japanese’s social order and systems.

I do self-funded research and I'm writing a book.

> What's the book about?

About technologies and agency.

Meaning, technologies can foster agency. No doubt. But I am also asking:

Can usage of technologies give us a sense of empowerment while in fact undermining our abilities?

I posted a summary of the prologue on the homepage: https://yctct.com/
