Arc D'x by Steve Erickson

In a dreamlike, fragmented near-future landscape the novel follows several interlocking lives — artists, exiles, lovers and political ghosts — as they drift between a fractured United States and a Europe reshaped by memory and violence; through a filmmaker’s obsession, a woman’s search for a vanished partner, and broadcasts and performances that blur fact and fiction, it examines how history, media and desire remake identity and reality amid social collapse and the longing for reinvention.
