Vanishing World by Sayaka Murata

From the internationally bestselling author of Convenience Store Woman, Vanishing World is a bold, unsettling, and thought-provoking novel that challenges society’s ideas of normalcy, intimacy, and human connection.

Set in a near-future world where traditional relationships are disappearing, reproduction is detached from love, and emotional bonds are regulated by social systems, Murata explores what it truly means to be human. As individuals adapt—or resist—this strange new reality, the lines between desire, identity, and freedom begin to blur.

Sharp, surreal, and deeply provocative, Vanishing World is perfect for readers who enjoy dystopian fiction, psychological literature, and stories that question social norms.
