From the author of A Visit from the Goon Squad, The Candy House is Jennifer Egan’s fractured, hyperlinked novel of memory, technology, surveillance, family, and selfhood under digital capitalism.

The book imagines a near-future technology that allows people to externalise and share their memories, turning private experience into a networked archive and raising all the grim little questions you’d expect: what happens when consciousness becomes searchable, when nostalgia becomes infrastructure, and when the self is no longer quite private property.

Told through a web of interconnected characters, shifting forms, and strange narrative architectures, this is slick, restless literary fiction for readers interested in speculative tech, social media, fractured identity, and the emotional weather of being alive inside systems that keep asking to know you better.
