Sisyphean by Dempow Torishima
Even after the world and humanity itself have been rendered nearly unrecognizable by genetic engineering, a day in the office can feelSisyphean.
"Dempow Torishima's Sisyphean is stunningA game-changer. Possibly the first truly visionary novel of this decade for SF."—Jeff VanderMeer, best-selling author of Annihilation.
"Torishima’s knotty, dense, hilarious, scary masterpiece is a book whose prose can be savored endlessly, and whose Kakaesque biopunk conceits prove that no strangeness which the universe can confer upon humanity will destroy the essential drives, loves and ambitions of the species." * Locus Online *
