Summary:
"Will you, dear Shareholder, set Athena free? Athena Rao must reckon with the memory of her father, King Rao -- literally. Through biotechnological innovation, he has given her his memories. His Dalit childhood on an Indian coconut plantation in the 1950s is as alive to her as her own existence in a prison cell, accused of her father's murder. Egocentric, brilliant, a little damaged, King Rao had a visionary idea: the personal computer known as the Coconut. His wife, Margie, was an artist with a marketing genius. Together they created a new world order, led by a corporate-run government. Athena's future is now in the hands of its Shareholders -- unless she can rejoin the Exes, a resistance group sustaining tech-free lifestyles on low-lying islands. Lyrical, satirical, and profound, The Immortal King Rao obliterates genre to confront the digital age. This gripping debut poses an urgent question: can anyone -- peasant laborers, convention-destroying entrepreneurs, radical anarchists, social-media followers -- ever get free?"--From publisher.
