Fiction and memoir rooted in Philadelphia.
The infrastructure is haunted.
Justin V. Chiang writes novels about haunted infrastructure. Repo men who see ghosts, houses that inherit their owners' loneliness, cities with rooms that were never built. By day he builds analytics systems for a trading firm, which is probably why his fiction keeps asking what happens when the system notices you back.
He is the author of The Accidental Architect, Feed the River, Written, Rendered, Repossessed, and The Heliotrope Hour. He lives outside Philadelphia with his wife, four kids, and three cats, one of whom supervises all drafting.
