Summary
Elena Rubik can't seem to stay dead. She persists: as a set of corneas, as a newsletter subscriber, as a member of fanfiction forums. Her best friend, Jules Valentine, meanwhile, is unwittingly inveigled into an indie film turned corporate branding stunt. When Jules leaks information about the true story behind the video - by then an overworked viral meme - wannabe investigative reporter April Kuan is assigned the case. But as April trails Jules all over Perth, she, too, becomes ensnared in the machinations of shady corporate interests as the very laws of physics and time begin to bend.
Rubik is a wide-ranging, brilliantly intertwined novel in stories that slips outside the borders of realism. Spotted with disappearances and mysteries and told with a sharp-edged wit and cutting social commentary, it is an original and ingenious reflection of technological anxiety, loneliness and connectivity in the Internet age.
