Chan Ho-Kei’s The Borrowed was one of the most acclaimed international crime novels of recent years. His latest novel, Second Sister, is a tale of cyberbullying and revenge, about a woman on the hunt for the truth about her sister’s death. Refusing to believe her sister Siu Man’s death was suicide, Nga-Yee contacts a hacker known only as N.— an expert in cybersecurity and manipulating human behavior, to investigate. What follows is a cat and mouse game through Hong Kong and its digital underground, featuring an online gossip platform, tech entrepreneurs, high school students and the markets and noodle shops of Sai Wan. He talks with author Eva Lau, author of Tongueless, about exploring social pressures, mental health and the darker sides of the digital world in fiction. In CANTONESE with interpretation into English.
