Little Eyes

Mehr zum Buch

A visionary novel explores the collision of technology and play, horror and humanity, from a master storyteller. They've infiltrated homes in Hong Kong, shops in Vancouver, streets of Senegal, town squares of Oaxaca, schools in Tel Aviv, and bedrooms in Ohio. They're everywhere now. In this wildly imaginative tale, "kentukis" have gone viral globally. These mechanical stuffed animals, equipped with cameras and wheels, connect to an anonymous server. Owners experience the eyes of a stranger in their homes, while others can control a kentuki to voyeuristically engage in someone else's life. Through these creatures, a jaded Croatian hustler stumbles into a massive criminal enterprise while saving a life in Brazil. A lonely old woman in Peru becomes captivated by a young woman and her lover in Germany, and a motherless child in Antigua discovers a virtual family and experiences snow for the first time in Norway. While kentukis reveal the beauty of connection among distant souls, they also expose the darker aspects of our interconnected world. Trusting strangers can lead to unexpected love and adventure, but what happens when kentukis open the door to unimaginable terror?
