When the world ends, chaos begins– – for feral Bunny Graves, playing life like a high-stakes game, where the only way to win is to smash the board to bit– – for Max Caspar and Charmskool the scholar, chasing ancient myth all the way to the real world– – and for Ari Regon, caught between dangerous jealousy and passionate love, corporate war and ambition so intense that failure is death, making the party to end all parties, a party that never ends. Dark times. Dark dreams. DARK MATTER The third and final book in the DARK FACTORY series.
"Kathe Koja's vision and styling in her Dark Factory series has given cyberpunk a whole new lease on virtual life. Dark Matter, the third and final installment, takes us on a flickering journey into night, with the return of Felix, Ari, and Max, and especially glint-of-light-on-broken-glass, Bunny Graves-as they throb their way into our consciousness and ultimately, our hearts."
J.S. Breukelaar, author of Remedy and Collision
"Dark Matter is a vital and edifying conclusion to Kathe Koja's Dark Factory project: an apocalyptic after-hours dance party, a rebellious model of creation from ruins. Within the swirling rush of its linguistic music, it poses serious philosophical questions about the role of artists in a disintegrating world. Exuberant. Futuristic. Essential."
Mike Thorn, author of Shelter for the Damned and Darkest Hours
"In this third and final chapter of her visionary Dark Factory series, Kathe Koja invokes a pantheon for our times-art, argot and sublime near-future tech, new gods creating new realities as the world spins toward collapse at 200bpm. Like mainlining the godhead, Dark Matter is ecstatic, apocalyptic and Dionysiac AF."
J. Ashley-Smith, Shirley Jackson Award-winning author of The Measure of Sorrow
