Author Talk/Book Launch: The Girl From Wudang

Join the 53rd St Library to talk with PJ Caldas, author of Tuttle Publishing’s The Girl from Wudang. A special book launch/author talk event will feature the Emmy Award-winner celebrating his debut novel, The Girl from Wudang: A Novel About Artificial Intelligence, Martial Arts and Immortality.

Yinyin, called Tigress, was raised in the sacred mountains of Wudang, where her life was about Tai Chi, the Dao, and trying to balance her yang with yin. Artificial intelligence and neuroscience were things she’d never even heard of. But then her overpowering yang sets her on a course to the Bay Area to become a professional fighter.

For as long as she could remember, Yinyin had been told she was poised to become part of something big, but what “big” turned out to be was beyond her imagining: a scientific experiment that would allow her to connect her brain to a thing they called “Brainternet” and become unbeatable. Bonus: the suicidal headaches that had plagued her all her life would cease.

But nothing comes without a price, and this connection would give others access to family secrets Yinyin has sworn to protect. Secrets that, at large and in the wrong hands, could be a very dangerous thing.

Fans of the legendary cyberpunk novels and gritty sci-fi thrillers of William Gibson and Stieg Larsson will be captivated by this new techno-thriller—a fast-paced blend of action, neuroscience, spirituality and martial arts.
