Calcutechs have had their brain core altered and are used to perform some sort of computer analysis but what that involves is unclear. It is not entirely clear what a Calcutech is but they work for the System, which is a semi-official but private entity fighting the Semiotechs, who are the bad guys. The first one – Hard-Boiled Wonderland – is the story of our loner, who is a Calcutech.
This one, as the title shows, is seemingly two stories though, as we can guess, the two stories will intersect. Of course, this book, like the others, shows the influence of American literature, particularly American detective stories, the hero is a likeable loner, with a taste for American culture, who is dragged into some strange quest and he meets a girl a bit like him but then there are many novels like this. While some of the same themes and style may re-occur, each book is totally original. Fortunately, this is far from being the case with Murakami. They write many books but all are variations of the same book.
