A salesman for The Company searches hazily for his wife, grasping at memories just out of reach. When they ask after her he tells them she's dead. They say she may be in Tokyo. Set in the very near future, Tokyo Doesn't Love Us Anymore presents a dystopian vision akin to Orwell's 1984 - while evoking the bewildering visual universe of Blade Runner. One of Spain's most successful authors has produced a dizzying picaresque novel of drug-fuelled nights and wild sexual encounters: dealing with issues as diverse as loss, chemical dependency and the power of the multi-national conglomerates.

A Modern Masterpiece
19 May 2009

Format:Paperback
I really couldn't leave the review posted above as the only note on this outstanding book.
The story itself unravels with a sense of entropic disintegration; running in tandem with the central character's loss of self and a release of absolution - after all he sells a chemical that erases memories. The genius of this subtlety gives the reader credit for understanding the plot and naturally etching possible conclusions - Loriga has out-thought the process in delivering this masterpiece in great style, entertainment and prose.
In short an excellent read. Get it!!!

The use of amnesia and disconnected events makes it an exciting read. It kind of reminds me of Brave New World as for the aspect of drug use. I feel this will become a classic some day.

This is a roaringly good novel. I haven't had this much fun reading a book since Deborah Hersh is a Liar. But this but is more than just entertainment. It has hidden depths. Notice the river imagery in the opening. The final scene is also extremely powerful. I don't want to spoil it. Buy it and enjoy.
