Still Here

by Lara Vapnyar

'Still Here' unveils the intertwining lives of four Russian immigrants in New York City, exploring the nuances of love, ambition, and the challenges of adapting to a new life while dealing with the bizarre realities of the digital era. Vica, Vadik, Sergey, and Regina, friends since their school days in Russia, navigate their diverse American journeys. Sergey attempts to make it big with his app 'Virtual Grave,' while grappling with professional instability. Vica, his medical technician wife, strives for a better existence for their family. Regina, Sergey's ex and the wife of a prosperous entrepreneur, is mired in grief over a recent bereavement. Meanwhile, Vadik, a programmer, wrestles with love and identity, endlessly searching for the one who eluded him. As Sergey's app sparks discussions about death's perception in our tech-driven age, it poses piercing questions about our online legacies. What do our digital avatars reveal about us, and how will they speak for us after we pass away?
