Understudy

Leah does everything for you. She writes your emails, books your meetings, buys your groceries, picks your outfits, and decides what’s for dinner.

She knows where you need to go and how to get you there. She remembers everything you forget. She monitors your heartbeat; she reminds you to breathe.

But you’re still the boss. She knows that better than anyone.

Understudy is a literary novel exploring the relationship between a working man and the “AI” assistant operating a chip inside his brain.

I’m currently working through the first draft of this novel. If you’re interested in stories about Asian-American immigrants, contemporary tech, and the transactional nature of relationships under capitalism… then watch this space.
