Narrated by a quippy, all-knowing (fictional) A.I. tasked with answering the question: How did our universe begin, how will it end, and what is the meaning of life? The answer follows the life story of Aldo Go—an artist living in a contemporary alternate universe from our own. The reader watches as Aldo is transformed by the ugliness of the modern-day zeitgeist from a starry-eyed child to a disillusioned man who drags a dead body into his condo to watch it decompose.

   
The absuridt literary novel drips with dry humor and wordplay and embodies chaos and tangentiality in its pacing. The A.I. uses Aldo’s life as the central thread as it explores what it means to be human. It tackles themes of the dumbing down of entertainment, hypersexualization of media, death (including its own), and above all—the existential threat A.I. poses to artists.
