Sublimation

內容簡介

內容簡介 你願意付出什麼代價去過那個你未曾選擇的人生？邊界將你一分為二。移民時，你留下了一個複製的自己，一個「實體」（instance）。一個進入了新國家；另一個則被困在家鄉。有些實體保持聯繫，每天通話，讓彼此的生活和想法同步，希望有一天能重新融合，恢復成同一個人。而其他人，像姜素英（Soyoung Rose Kang）一樣，十歲離家後就再也沒有與另一個自己說過話。身在美國的 Rose 從未想過要回到韓國，直到她的祖父過世，而她在韓國的實體打電話叫她回家參加葬禮。Rose並不知道，素英正計畫竊取她的身體和她的人生。An instant USA Today Bestseller | A LibraryReads Bonus Pick | One of the most anticipated books of Summer, according to The New York Times, USA Today, NPR, Forbes, and many more | With starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and BookList“A mind bending thriller about personhood, homeland nostalgia, global migration, and all forms of alienation.” ―R.
