New Waves: A Novel by Kevin Nguyen EPUB

A wry and edgy debut novel about race and startup culture, secrecy and surveillance, social media and friendship.

“A knowing, witty, and thought-provoking exploration of love, modern isolation, and what it means to exist - especially as a person of color - in our increasingly digital age.” (Celeste Ng, best-selling author of Everything I Never Told You and Little Fires Everywhere)

Lucas and Margo are fed up. Margo is a brilliant programmer tired of being talked over as the company’s sole black employee, and while Lucas is one of many Asians at the firm, he’s nearly invisible as a low-paid customer service rep. Together, they decide to steal their tech startup’s user database in an attempt at revenge. The heist takes a sudden turn when Margo dies in a car accident, and Lucas is left reeling, wondering what to do with their secret - and wondering whether her death really was an accident.

When Lucas hacks into Margo’s computer looking for answers, he is drawn into her private online life and realizes just how little he knew about his best friend. With a fresh voice, biting humor, and piercing observations about human nature, Kevin Nguyen brings an insider’s knowledge of the tech industry to this imaginative novel. A pitch-perfect exploration of race and startup culture, secrecy and surveillance, social media and friendship, New Waves asks: How well do we really know one another? And how do we form true intimacy and connection in a tech-obsessed world?
