Chindōgu is a mosaic novel set in the world of futuristic Japan. Police officer Kaori Nakamura investigates cybercrime. She is aided by a hyperhologram of her dead brother; a self-learning artificial intelligence that has trouble following the laws established by humans. When a young woman appears at the police station the day after the earthquake – an employee of Chiba Kōgyō Bank – and reports a missing colleague, Nakamura is delegated to the case. During the investigation, she learns that a few days earlier someone came to the company and threatened the missing woman. Although the proceedings seemingly have little to do with cybercrime, the situation Nakamura is facing begins to affect her personally. How will this affect her judgment? Will the technologies she uses prove helpful? Cyberpunk is no longer a song of the future, but a world that is “here and now”, at our fingertips. More real and tangible than ever before, and therefore easier to imagine. Existing in reality, not just on the pages of a novel. It is worth having some insight into it, so that one day you do not leave home and find yourself in a completely different reality...
