G.E.M. Deng Ziqi, the celebrated singer-songwriter, is poised to make her literary debut with her ambitious sci-fi novel, “Revelation Road,” set to launch pre-orders on July 10th.
Announced as completed earlier this year on April 15th, the novel will be available in two distinct editions: the “Eternal Collection Edition” priced at 298 yuan, and the “Paperback Edition” at 89 yuan.
While the Paperback Edition focuses solely on the literary work itself, the Eternal Collection Edition promises an elevated fan experience, bundling the novel with a curated selection of exclusive merchandise.
This novel, a passion project undertaken during Deng Ziqi’s downtime, serves as a compelling extension of her acclaimed album “Revelation.” The narrative unfolds across a tripartite world structure, featuring “Paradise” and “Wasteland,” intricately woven with our own reality.
At its core, the story follows the intertwined journeys of Gloria, a virtual persona, and Qiu, a young woman navigating the complexities of the real world. Both characters grapple with their identities and seek meaning amidst the fragmentation and eventual reconstruction of their emotional landscapes.
Rather than simply exploring the frontiers of technology, “Revelation Road” delves into the profound human questions that arise when technology shapes our existence. It probes the intricate dynamics of “self” and “love” in a technologically advanced society, posing the fundamental question: how do we truly love? The novel offers not definitive answers, but rather an introspective journey, a path of “revelation” leading to a deeper understanding of the inner self.
