Summary:
"A novel featuring obsession and adventure, science experiments and parakeets, coding and container ships, Six Degrees of Freedom was the winner of the Governor General's Literary Award in its original French-language version. Nicolas Dickner is a previous winner of Canada Reads for the novel Nikolski. Three characters, three separate paths to freedom. Lisa is a young woman with an eccentric and absent mother and a father slowly succumbing to Alzheimer's. Lisa is a young woman whose longing for adventure is tethered by the demands of an eccentric mother and a father slowly succumbing to Alzheimer's. Lisa's friend Éric is an agoraphobic hacker who becomes independently wealthy before his eighteenth birthday. And Jay is a former computer pirate who's paying her debt to society, day by stultifying day, working for the RCMP in Montreal. But when Jay learns of the existence of the mysterious shipping container Papa Zulu, she begins a clandestine investigation to discover who made it disappear and what they are trying to hide."--From publisher.
