このコンテンツについて
Electrifying, sharp, and darkly funny, Mariel Franklin's first novel, Bonding, is a story of sex, tech, and pharmaceuticals in the tangle of our digital age. This program is read by Ellie Kendrick, best known for roles in the BBC's The Diary of Anne Frank, the 2010's Upstairs Downstairs, and the HBO series Game of Thrones.
Mary is exhausted by an endless cycle of casual relationships and unstable work. When she loses her job yet again, she jumps on a plane to Ibiza.
There, at a party, she meets Tom, a brilliant chemist on the verge of launching a drug made to cure the anxieties of modern life.
Back in London after a heady trip, Mary runs into her volatile and driven sort-of-ex Lara, who has channeled her ambitions into an innovative dating app designed to revolutionize the industry.
When Mary begins working for Lara and falling for Tom, tech and pharma collide with shocking consequences, forcing her to question what love and success mean in a world that is hurtling out of control.
A searing, elegiac satire of the way we live and work, Mariel Franklin’s perceptive and unnerving Bonding heralds the arrival of a blazing new talent.
A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
批評家のレビュー
“I absolutely loved it. Anyone interested in the relationship between tech, our bodies and our minds should bump it to the top of their queue immediately.”—Zadie Smith, author of The Fraud
“With dazzling imagination, Franklin fashions cutting-edge concepts, then uses them to pry open the human heart and interrogate the eternal questions therein. Chilling but warm, eagle-eyed yet sweeping, Bonding is a fascinating, ambitious tale for our modern age.”—Andrew Lipstein, author of Something Rotten
“An addictive and unsparing novel. Mariel Franklin contends with some of our most urgent questions: the selling off of desire, and the dangerous sublimation of intimacy, attention, and the body in the face of tech and pharma. Cuttingly funny and terrifically smart, Bonding sounds a warning about influence, magnetism and what we’ll risk in order to feel—and not feel. A gorgeous, clear-eyed, and terrifying debut, Bonding is a love story for our times.”—Claudia Dey, author of Daughter
