Haruki Murakami
Hyperkinetic and relentlessly inventive, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is Haruki Murakami’s deep dive into the very nature of consciousness.Across two parallel narratives, Murakami draws readers into a mind-bending universe in which Lauren Bacall, Bob Dylan, a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters collide to dazzling effect. What emerges is a novel that is at once hilariously funny and a deeply serious meditation on the nature and uses of the mind.

"I was incredibly bored, from start to finish. Female characterization/physical descriptions are dull and insulting, at best. In the grand scheme of sci-fi, futurist, multiverse literary genres, this book is not a contender. "

"It's been so many years since I've read hard to pinpoint a chapter but it remains one of my favorites!"

"Easily my favourite Murakami book of all time. To a point that I don't even know how to describe why I like this book. It affected me strongly."
