"SF writers have often confronted tradition with modernity, often issuing a merciless account of ubiquitous technology and warning against man's dependence on the artificial world he has created, without which he can no longer function normally. Marta Sobiecka goes further - she presents a futuristic marriage of metaphysics with cyberspace, constructs holographic substitutes for apparitions produced for the mass audience, and even allows herself in her visions to portray the soul in a truly 'heretical' way, a soul independent of its 'rubbish skull' (as Ray Bradbury would put it). The fascination with Japan, often visible in the author's prose, finds an extremely important, substantive justification in this context - it is the Land of the Rising Sun that has been trying for decades to combine mysticism, religion and the beliefs of ancestors with a dehumanized future... However, the writer does not judge anyone, she does not give the schizoidly cracked reality any grades. We do not receive from her either a morality play or ethical support for a person lost in the mental turmoil of the 21st century. Why? For a simple reason - Marta Sobiecka takes her reader seriously, allows them to make independent choices, to follow their own path, just like the heroes of her stories do."

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...
