FEKETE, Kristí
We Are All Liches Now

A fairytale science fiction that doubles as a fabulative analysis of how technology shapes one’s identity. Patchworked together from texts by various authors (such as Donna Haraway, Katherine Hayles, Reza Negarestani, Shirley Jackson, Ursula K. Le Guin,…) used as dialogue, and own narration. Pixelated illustrations are used in a similar pattern-like manner, giving the book an anachronistic atmosphere. The story passes through digital and mythological landscapes as the main character, Ganymede, gets digitalized into a lich: an intellect-driven undead creature seeking eternal life.
