Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

Book • 1985
Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is a novel by Haruki Murakami that intertwines two distinct narratives.

The first follows a Calcutec, a human data processor, in a cyberpunk Tokyo, while the second explores a mystical town where residents lack shadows and minds.

The novel delves into themes of consciousness, identity, and the subconscious, weaving a complex and dreamlike tale that converges these two worlds.
