Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

One sentence synopsis... A relentlessly imaginative, mind-expanding exploration of consciousness told in alternating narratives - a futuristic, detective/noir Tokyo and a science-fiction society at world's end. .

Read it if you liked... Philip K. Dick (specifically ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep'), George Orwell, Kurt Vonnegut. .

Dream casting... It's pretty hard to imagine any Murakami characters portrayed by real people so instead I'm changing this to dream director and choosing Alfonso Cuaron.
