Book description
voices in my head but what if they were real what if you could map them trace their circuits like subway lines beneath the skin pat cadigan wrote this thing that feels like falling through mirrors backwards while your brain downloads itself into someone else's dreams
alexandra victoria haas caught between worlds literally the system caught her playing with minds rewriting realities and now she's given this choice prison or becoming something else entirely a pathosfinder which sounds like a job title from a fever dream but maybe that's exactly what it is
the audiobook pulls you in with this weird intimacy like someone whispering directly into your ear about the architecture of consciousness cadigan's cyberpunk roots show but she's not just playing with tech she's dissecting what makes us human when humanity becomes optional when you can jack into someone's psyche like it's a video game save file
what strikes me is how she treats the mind as territory to be explored mapped claimed like the americas but internalized turned inward until the frontier becomes the synapses the neural pathways become highways you can drive down at night with the windows open and your thoughts spilling out onto the asphalt
the narration catches this perfectly this fragmented sense of self that comes with living too close to the edge of what's real cadigan's writing has this quality like she's thinking faster than she can write and the audiobook format somehow captures that urgency that breathless quality of someone trying to explain something they barely understand themselves
pathosfinder sounds clinical but it's not it's about finding the emotional truth in a world where truth itself has become negotiable where reality is just another program you can crash if you know the right code
this is early cadigan before she became a multiple arthur c. clarke award winner but you can feel the seeds of everything that made her great already planted here in this strange little book about a woman who chooses to dive deep into the collective unconscious rather than rot in a cell which when you think about it might be the most punk rock decision ever made
