The Immortal King Rao

by Vauhini Vara

Set in a dystopian future dominated by corporations, 'The Immortal King Rao' tells the tale of Athena, the daughter of the eponymous King Rao, who grapples with her father's complex legacy. As climate change ravages the world, Athena gains access to King's memories and uncovers the threads of his past: from his upbringing on an Indian coconut plantation, to his transformative journey to the United States, his revolutionary marriage, and his final act of creation—Athena, his daughter. Athena's quest to reveal the truth of King's life to the world's stakeholders is fraught with challenges but comes with an intimate understanding of technology's gripping power. This thought-provoking novel blurs genres, weaving together a tale that examines technological capitalism's origins and implications for the future.
