"Hyperkinetic and relentlessly inventive, Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is Haruki Murakami's deep dive into the very nature of consciousness. Across two parallel narratives, Murakami draws readers into a mind-bending universe in which Lauren Bacall, Bob Dylan, a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly brazen granddaughter, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters collide to dazzling effect. What emerges is a novel is at once hilariously funny and a deeply serious meditation on the nature and uses of the mind."
