5.0

Two rival multimedia artists, a DJ who can hear the universe, and a dogged news blogger wind up on a path that may alter the way humans perceive reality in Dark Factory. I really enjoyed this book (and the supplementary material on the website) but I know it won't be for everyone. It's got dreamy, stream of consciousness prose, messy characters and an ambiguous ending. The characters felt grounded the whole time, even as things got weird, and the book had a lot of heart. I just really had a lot of fun with this.
