Meet Dillon, a high-functioning mess with a rather inconvenient foot fetish, who has been keeping some very big secrets from his girlfriend Ramona. On the other hand, Meet Dhilan, a young carer caught in an endless loop of pre-bereavement bereavement for his dying mother. And at last there is Dylan. These three very separate identities for the same young man have been growing dangerously hardwired thanks to the self-reinforcing effects of social media and search engines, and the uncanny predictive capabilities of his smartphones. When two creepy old dudes threaten to expose the characters, he is forced to unravel a gut-wrenching mystery that he would rather leave well alone.
Set in a strange greyscape between the digital world and the messy realm of the body, Through Distortion, Gautam Malkani asks timely questions about what happens when our digital data doesn’t just filter our view of the world, but also our view of ourselves. Out in December as the author’s second book, it already created a hype in Amazon.
