New Waves

In "New Waves," Kevin Nguyen crafts a poignant and insightful debut novel that explores the complexities of modern connection and identity within the tech industry. The story follows Lucas and Margo, two employees at a startup who, feeling marginalized and unheard, plot to steal the company’s user database for revenge. After a tragic accident claims Margo's life, Lucas delves into her digital world, uncovering secrets that challenge his understanding of friendship and intimacy in an increasingly isolated and digital landscape. This sharp satire addresses themes of race, surveillance, and the quest for true connection in a tech-obsessed society.
