Description: Invention Is a Mother — a slightly sci-fi, absurdist novel about the surreal life of technologists. This visionary work of fiction presents wearable technology and a disturbing future of artificial intelligence within a poignant coming-of-age story. One of the best humorous novels in recent years. A comic science fiction masterpiece.
A feral engineer, a personality-flexible coworker, an alcoholic wormhole, and . . . Shaughnessy.
Could this lineup be better? Yes. Yes it could.
Shaughnessy is a passive bystander to his own life. He sleeps on a rented couch and relies on his programmable identiTee to maintain a façade of the normalcy he’s spent his whole adult life avoiding.
