Taipei

Probably the book we will remember the 21st century by. Or the book that remembers us better than we remember ourselves? An external feeling. This book is an external feeling projected onto internal self and external others projected within yourself. An elaborate 3D model made by a graduate architect at the university as a part of his final dissertation. Or a tiny landscape study of the view. With shapes bent back, distorted but truthful, and the hand trying to put everything together as if it had never been broken apart.

i think?

I couldn't bring myself to finish it, and it's just not my style of writing. Perhaps it would be better as a short story.

I'm probably going to disagree with this review, but it is a [thought-]provoking review: http://www.themillions.com/2013/06/modern-life-is-rubbish-tao-lins-taipei.html

And this one: http://harpers.org/archive/2013/09/numerical-madness/

I think I might have spent more time reading reviews/criticism on this book and Tao Lin than the book itself.
