| In the immediate future, an all-engulfing digital crash has impacted on the global megalopolises and their populations, transforming the nature of memory itself. Violence and hallucination, ocular and sexual mutation, and the aberrant power of the film image, now form the raw sensory materials by which the final traces of human bodies survive. Among the disintegrating alleys and corporate plazas of an East Asian megalopolis, an amnesiac film-archivist and a silent bar-hostess make an obsessive alliance in order to reactivate or destroy forever the life of cities, with extreme consequences for their own memories and bodies. CITIES OF OBLIVION offers an extravagant onslaught for the discerning reader's senses. |
