內容簡介
內容簡介 這部驚心動魄且帶有不祥預言色彩的出道作，背景設定於一個地球與資源已被逼至極限的世界，催生出一項革命性且極具爭議的程序——兩個人的意識可以融合，存在於同一具身體之中。你願意付出多大代價，只為永不道別？蘿莉，65歲，正與阿茲海默症搏鬥。她的女兒阿米莉亞曾是個熱情堅定的社運人士，無法忍受看著母親的心智逐漸消逝。面對失去母親的殘酷現實，阿米莉亞決定讓她們參加全球首個針對阿茲海默症患者的意識融合實驗，將蘿莉衰退的心智轉移至阿米莉亞健康的身體，讓母女倆的意識合而為一。很快，阿米莉亞與蘿莉加入了一群神秘難測的融合參與者：少年盧卡斯，計劃與罹患絕症的哥哥諾亞融合；班，將與懷孕的未婚妻安妮融合；以及傑伊，他的融合對象是染上毒癮的女兒拉拉。當他們準備搬進「村落」——一處為融合者打造的豪華療養中心時，眾人開始懷疑，一切是否真的如表面所見般美好。 《融合》是來自一位驚豔新聲的出道作，既是一段關於愛、家庭與犧牲的個人故事，也是一場對現代世界中控制、抗拒與自由界限的深刻省思。A thrilling and ominously prophetic debut set in a world when Earth and its resources have been pushed to breaking point, giving rise to a revolutionary—and highly controversial—procedure in which two people’s consciousness can be combined to exist in one body.How far would you go to never say goodbye?Laurie is sixty-five and living with Alzheimer’s. Her daughter Amelia, a once fiery and strong-willed activist, can’t bear to see her mother’s mind fade. Faced with the reality of losing her forever, Amelia signs them up to take part in the world’s first experimental merging process for Alzheimer’s patients, in which Laurie’s ailing mind will be transferred into Amelia’s healthy body and their consciousness will be blended as one.Soon Amelia and Laurie join the opaque and mysterious group of other merge participants: teenage Lucas, who plans to merge with his terminally ill brother Noah; Ben, who will merge with his pregnant fiancée Annie; and Jay, whose merging partner is his addict daughter Lara. As they prepare to move to The Village, a luxurious rehabilitation center for those who have merged, they quickly begin to question whether everything is really as it seems.An exhilarating, immersive debut from an astonishing new voice, The Merge is a personal story of love, family, and sacrifice, as well as a thought-provoking examination of the limits of control, resistance, and freedom in our modern world.
