Arachnid Aditya Modak

Postal employee Jay Mukherjee believes that the world is spiralling into madness. But he doesn't remember his own face. The residents of City-8 are living a faithless, hopeless, and musicless life, dreading an imminent android uprising. Jay, tortured by the ghosts of his past, tries to come to terms with the squalid realities of urban life, wherein he encounters the manifestation of his darkest secrets and his worst nightmares - in the form of a spider. Set in a distant future, the story delves into the ideas of existentialism, nihilism and absurdism through an experimental narrative.
