Jinwoo Chong recommends
The Ephemera Collector (2025)
Stacy Nathaniel Jackson
"Both a masterful formal experiment and an exhilarating science fiction epic, The Ephemera Collector is a fractal of a novel-folding endlessly and effortlessly into itself in perfect synchronization with its parts: the journey of an archivist searching for meaning in the near future, a vision of humanity's reckoning with its complex history and its ultimate fate, and a meditation on the complexity of memory, both human and cultural, that survives us in the objects left behind."
Two Truths and a Lie (2025)
Cory O'Brien
"Boldly inventive, peppered with breakneck action and a blend of speculative wonder and humor, Cory O'Brien's Two Truths and a Lie packs an unforgettable punch. Utilizing the vehicle of a thrilling, emotional, often hilarious cyberpunk detective story, it pokes at the delicate line between memory and truth, ultimately wondering whether there is even a difference. The result is ambitious, masterful, and hugely entertaining."
Masquerade (2024)
Mike Fu
"Stylistically daring, with jigsaw plotting, lush sensuality, and a tender emotional core, Mike Fu's Masquerade is a subtle and self-assured debut. A book that is as much about the brittle threads of reality that bind us as it is about how easily they are shattered."
