digital dreams / questioning the corporeal
in which digital spaces and new technologies are used to access strange/surreal/absurd/dreamlike planes of being, raising questions around what it means to exist [in a human body] in our technological age. these books play with style and form in testing and questioning the limits of our humanity.

i hate to say âyouâre welcomeâ about an incoming existential crisis, but: youâre welcome!
Pretty much came here to say this đ
I am in love with this list! I can't wait to get ahold of some of these!
I would like to respectfully suggest State of Paradise by Laura van den Berg. I love this author and this was one of my favorite reads of 2025.
I have a feeling that I will find more for you if I browse my physical shelves.
Awesome idea for a list, I'll be keeping my eye on this.
Ooh I love this! Have you read any ted chiang? I feel like "Exhalation" by him has a lot of short stories that would fit this prompt
You might like The Speculative Reader's channel on youtube, he reviews a lot of slipstream/new wave scifi that tackles these same issues.
