ESPRESSO LOVE by takatsu
In Tokyo, where the System siphons thought, emotions & memories, a literature student meets a strange psychic girl and they embark on an escape from mindless agents, dream worlds and reality itself, in a soul-searching journey for love, for identity and what it means to be human. But all that remains is a peculiar coffee shop order.
The novel examines the human condition, perception, socio-political systems, capitalism and consumer culture, incorporating paranoiac conspiracy theories, surreal cosmic visions, circular symbolism and shifting parallel worlds, with profound discussions of coffee, art, literature and music.
- A novel set in Dystopian Japan, it has amazing description and a haunting sort of conflict that explores the spiritual and philosophical. It's a deep read that provokes a lot of thought. It's also a Wattys 2014 winner. (apex-aporia)
