Description
The Unbinding by Walter Kirn A man's life is reduced to a series of transactions. He has a TV, a computer, a phone, a car, an apartment, some furniture, and a health-club locker. But when he joins AidSat, everything changes. The company offers him access to a vast network of information, allowing him to monitor and control the lives of its subscribers. As Kent Selkirk navigates this world, he begins to question the nature of his own existence. He has multiple lives, each one a simulation of the last. But which one is real? And what are the true costs of living in a world where information is power? In The Unbinding, Walter Kirn explores the darker side of human connection and the consequences of playing god with technology.
