Although this novella flirted a bit with conventional cyberpunk, Hossain has a much more poignant and, dare I say it, adult story about loss and letting go. Sure, there is no shortage of the fantastic elements Hossain has so far deployed in his literary universe, but the ending is far from pat in terms of having to make choices. The route the Kundo of the title takes on the way to truly waking up is very emotionally satisfying. ( ) no reviews | add a review

Hundreds of miles away from the techno-utopia of Kathmandu, the all-powerful, all-seeing AI known as Karma has gone silent, leaving the dying city of Chittagong--along with all its remaining residents--to continue its inexorable fall into the sea. Kundo, once a famous artist with the Karma points to prove it, goes searching for his missing wife, only to uncover more inexplicable disappearances. And so Kundo and a group of motley companions embark on a tumultuous journey through an overwhelming maze made up of Chittagong's neighborhoods, the hidden backrooms of video game parlors, and the depths of cyberspace, culminating in the realm of the djinn themselves, in search of love, redemption, and a good meal.
