520    "Will you, dear Shareholder, set Athena free? Athena Rao 
       must reckon with the memory of her father, King Rao-
       literally. Through biotechnological innovation, he has 
       given her his memories. His Dalit childhood on an Indian 
       coconut plantation in the 1950s is as alive to her as her 
       own existence in a prison cell, accused of her father's 
       murder. Egocentric, brilliant, a little damaged, King Rao 
       had a visionary idea: the personal computer known as the 
       Coconut. His wife, Margie, was an artist with a marketing 
       genius. Together they created a new world order, led by a 
       corporate-run government. Athena's future is now in the 
       hands of its Shareholders-unless she can rejoin the Exes, 
       a resistance group sustaining tech-free lifestyles on low-
       lying islands. Lyrical, satirical, and profound, The 
       Immortal King Rao obliterates genre to confront the 
       digital age. This gripping, brilliant debut poses an 
       urgent question: can anyone-peasant laborers, convention-
       destroying entrepreneurs, radical anarchists, social-media
       followers-ever get free?"--|cProvided by publisher.
