Within a decade, Bix's new technology, \"Own Your Unconscious\"--which allows you access to every memory you've ever had, and to share your memories in exchange for access to the memories of others--has seduced multitudes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the world of Egan's spectacular imagination, there are \"counters\" who track and exploit desires and there are \"eluders,\" those who understand the price of taking a bite of the Candy House. Egan introduces these characters in an astonishing array of narrative styles--from omniscient to first person plural to a duet of voices, an epistolary chapter, and a chapter of tweets. Intellectually dazzling, \u003ci\u003eThe Candy House\u003c\/i\u003e is also a moving testament to the tenacity and transcendence of human longing for connection, family, privacy, and love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A beautiful exploration of loss, memory, and history\" \u003ci\u003e(San Francisco Chronicle)\u003c\/i\u003e, \"this is minimalist maximalism.
