Free event. If you’re unable to attend the launch, books can be purchased from Unity Books (https://www.unitybooks.co.nz/products/emotion-dealer-other-stories). About the book Jack Remiel Cottrell’s second book of short fiction ushers the reader into a liminal world of grief and dreams. Stories of heartbreak and betrayal jostle with incisive cautionary tales about self-aware AI, deranged algorithms, memory transplants and bionic enhancements. The Emotion Dealer is a kaleidoscopic exploration of technology, art, cities, capitalism, disinformation, loneliness and greed. It is a guide for our troubled moment and a book that will make you wonder what – if anything – we are leaving for those who come after us.
