«El fin del mundo y un despiadado país de las maravillas» is the novel by Haruki Murakami, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (488 pages, in Spanish).
The work alternates two parallel stories: in one, an anonymous narrator arrives at a walled city where he loses his shadow and his memories, and must read dreams to inhabitants devoid of emotions among golden-furred unicorns; in the other, a computer scientist works at a government institution embroiled in a sinister war for control of information. The plot explores the manipulation of consciousness in a futuristic, subterranean Tokyo, combining cyberpunk, noir fiction, and fantasy.
The novel belongs to the Andanzas collection, where it occupies number 705.
