The System’s chief rival is the Factory, which employs Semiotecs. In Hard-Boiled Wonderland, the unnamed narrator is a “calcutec” working for the System, in a near-future (?) alternate Japan where information is the ultimate currency. Murakami’s whimsical adventure is a not-quite-noir, not-quite-cyberpunk, not-quite-mythological mashup whose hero is, quite literally, searching for his own mind. Dick fans and those who enjoy stories that get off on exploring inner rather than outer space ought to have a whale of a time with this. It’s like a game of hide-and-go-seek in the playground of the mind, where the true nature of self is just a little too well hidden to be found. Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World may not always be consistent in tone or execution, but it’s often brilliant and always utterly unlike most anything else on the racks. Indeed, said imagination appears to have sprung fully formed from his cortex. This early work by Haruki Murakami gives tantalizing glimpses of the otherworldly imagination he’d hone to near-perfection in later novels. ![]() Share book reviews and ratings with Thomas, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

Set against the backdrop of post-flood New Orleans, Sara Gran paints a picture of a bleak crumbling city in a full-on state of PTSD.
