Every Version of You
Every Version of You

Futuristic dilemma: virtual utopia or authentic reality?

"Every Version of You" is a thought-provoking journey that resonates with anyone intrigued by the intersection of technology and human experience. Grace Chan masterfully explores themes of identity, nostalgia, and the price of progress in a not-too-distant future. If you're captivated by speculative fiction that questions what it means to be truly alive, this book might just be your next page-turner.

Description

In late twenty-first century Australia, Tao-Yi and her partner Navin spend most of their time inside a hyper-immersive, hyper-consumerist virtual reality called Gaia. They log on, go to work, socialise, and even eat in this digital utopia. Meanwhile their aging bodies lie suspended in pods inside cramped apartments. Across the city, in the abandoned ‘real’ world, Tao-Yi’s mother remains stubbornly offline, preferring instead to indulge in memories of her life in Malaysia. When a new technology is developed to permanently upload a human brain to Gaia, Tao-Yi must decide what is most important: a digital future, or an authentic past. Never Let Me Go meets Black Mirror, with a dash of Murakami surrealism thrown in, this is speculative literary fiction at its best.
