Argentinian literary star Pola Oloixarac 's visionary new novel races fromthe world of 19th-century science to an ultra-surveilled near future,exploring humanity's quest for knowledge and control, and leaping forward tothe next steps in human evolution.

Buenos Aires, 1983: Born to a white Argentinian anthropologist and a blackBrazilian engineer, Cassio comes of age with the Internet and becomes aprominent hacker, riding the wave of transformations brought about bydistributed networks, mass surveillance, and new flows of globalized capital.
The southern Argentinian techno-hub of Bariloche, 2024: A research group workson a project that will allow the Ministry of Genetics to track every movementof the country's citizens without their knowledge or consent, using sensorsthat identify DNA at a distance.

Review
Praise for Dark Constellations
"Dark Constellations is a grand saga of the anthropocene fever dream,spanning numerous continents, centuries, and species. With the technophilic,psychedelic flair of Thomas Pynchon and William Gibson, Pola Oloixarac tacksup miles of red yarn between 19th-century explorers, Argentiniancryptographers, secluded island tribes, computational biologists, and more. Anovel of high style and heavyweight ideas, Dark Constellations charts asublime order through the ritualistic carnage of science. Also, sex."
Tony Tulathimutte, author of Private Citizens
"With Dark Constellations , Pola Oloixarac exceeds the high expectations sheset with Savage Theories , her deliciously wicked debut. Whip-smart andgleefully irreverent, Oloixarac's new novel establishes her as Argentina'smost ferocious literary export. Fusing sci-fi and slapstick, DarkConstellations goes where no American writer would dare to tread. If youthought satire was dead, you haven't been reading Pola Oloixarac. "
Adam Morris, author of American Messiahs: False Prophets of a DamnedNation **_
" Dark Constellations has a daring and turbulent erudition. It 's acyberpunk with the bright colors of Latin America ."
Carol Bensimon, author of _We All Loved Cowboys**
__ "One of the first classics of Spanish literature in the 21st century."
El Mundo
"A fascinating and bewildering dystopian and fantastic novel. The languagecouldn't be more bold, brimming over with erotic metaphors and philosophicalreferences."
Der Spiegel
"Pola Oloixarac seems to be one epistemological step ahead . . . An ingeniouscoming-of-age novel of the internet and a philosophical trip."
Tagesspiegel
* *Praise for Pola Oloixarac
"A stunning vibrant maximalist whirlwind of a novel. Oloixarac's wit andambition are evident on every page."
Hari Kunzru, author of White Tears
"[An] exuberant blend of political satire and sexual picaresque. This bookrewards total immersion: Come for the inevitable Borges allusions, stay forthe wild ride."
The New York Times Book Review
"Pola Oloixarac is one of the great writers of the Internet, the only countrylarger than Argentina."
Joshua Cohen, author of Book of Numbers
?"?This debut novel announces a huge, rambunctious talent, with its hilariousand ribald glimpse of intellectual and sexual politics in a post-postrevolutionary Argentina."
The Boston Globe?
