Description
What if everyone in the world lost their hair?
Nick Guan and his friend Larry Chao are a pair of eccentric filmmakers who choose to explore the existential angst of their balding world through cinema. Larry is heir to one of the most lucrative wig companies in the world. Nick is a man who’s trying to make sense of the tatters of his American dream. Taking place throughout China and America, the pair set off on a series of misadventures involving North Korean spies, veterans of an African War, and digital cricket fighters. Their journey leads them to discover some of the darkest secrets behind wig-making and hair in a hairless world.
Advance Praise
"If you took
the world building of Philip K. Dick, and added in the gritty reality and humor
of Haruki Murakami, with a touch of Aldous Huxley (of course), you would get
Bald New World." -Buzzfeed
"Highlighted by Kollaboration in March as one of three Asian American
authors on the rise, Tieryas's debut novel "Bald New World" deals
with a global epidemic of follicular proportions. When Baldification hits the
planet, the pair find themselves caught up in an sci-fi tinged international
conspiracy, turning their penchant for adventure into a series of daring
discoveries." -Yahoo
"Dystopia has been done a lot, but no one has done it quite like Peter
Tieryas. I’d like to enthusiastically welcome Bald New World to the must-read
dystopian canon. Old Aldous would be proud." -HTMLGiant
"Read this book, feel alive." -Jason Jordan, author of Pestilence, editor of decomP
