A portrait of companionship - achingly tender and twisted - that captures the tenuous line between love and possession. What if you could enter the mind of the person you love the most? Mathilde is a dizzyingly talented, tortured artist whose star is on the rise - and Enka, struggling to create art that feels original, is immediately drawn to her. The two strike up a close friendship, but when Mathilde's fame reaches new heights, her work becoming more and more extreme, Enka becomes desperate to keep her close - no matter the cost. Enka falls in love with and marries a billionaire whose family's company is funding new technology purported to enhance empathy, and which could allow someone else to inhabit Mathilde's mind and absorb the trauma infecting her brain. But as their codependency deepens, the boundaries between Mathilde and Enka begin to blur, setting in motion a haunting series of events that will forever change their lives. Blisteringly smart, thought-provoking, and eerily timely, Immaculate Conception deftly navigates big questions of art, technology, authorship, and what makes us human. Its answers will haunt you long after you turn the final page.
