Sisyphean

English

By (author): Dempow Torishima

Translated by: Daniel Huddleston

Even after the world and humanity itself have been rendered nearly unrecognizable by genetic engineering, a day in the office can feelSisyphean.

The company stands atop a tiny deck supported by huge iron columns a hundred meters high. The boss there is its presidenta large creature of unstable, shifting form once called human. The world of his dedicated worker contains only the deck and the sea of mud surrounding it, and and the workers daily routine is anything but peaceful. A mosaic novel of extreme science and high weirdness, Sisyphean will change the way you see existence itself.

A strange journey into the far future of genetic engineering, and working life. After centuries of tinkering, many human bodies only have a casual similarity to what we now know, but both work and school continue apace. Will the enigmatic sad sack known only as the worker survive the day? Will the young student Hanishibe get his questions about the biological future of humanity answered, or will he have to transfer to the department of theology? Will Umari and her master ever comprehend the secrets of nanodust? See more
