Alex Shakar at Book Passage, Corte Madera September 22, 2011

Alex Shakar presents his novel Luminarium ($25.00). Moving between the hospitals of Manhattan, the streets of a meticulously planned Florida city, the neighborhoods of Brooklyn and the uncanny, immersive worlds of urban disaster simulation, this work is dizzyingly smart and provocative, exploring the state of present technology, and examining what is real and what is ephemeral.
