New York Stories by Yurie Kiri
New York Stories by award winning author, Yurie Kiri is a riveting science fiction novel that offers a fast-paced narrative centered around survival in a postmodern urban landscape. The author skillfully entwines the plot around the main characters, leaving readers on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the next unexpected twist.
This innovative novel presents readers with a fresh perspective on a dystopian future that could result from unchecked societal trends and tendencies. In this bleak world, the aftermath of wars has left our familiar cities and countries in ruins. The government is now controlled by powerful elites who have imposed a new world order. Technological and financial advancements have siphoned funds from bank accounts, leading to widespread homelessness. Everyday life is marked by the omnipresence of colossal computers monitoring and surveilling every facet of life and existence.
What sets this story apart is its exploration of the astral realm and the profound spiritual connections between the mind and body, which enable terrestrial travel. The descriptions of the transporters to Mars are so vividly crafted that space travel becomes entirely believable. Amidst environmental degradation caused by wars and global warming, violence becomes rampant in cities, making Mars an increasingly attractive destination for those seeking refuge.

New York Stories is not a cute travelogue or a guidebook to my favorite NYC bars and restaurants nor is it a guide to programming, artificial intelligence or computer languages. This is a survival story… about surviving all the horrors of a post-modern life: wars, environmental disasters, homelessness and poverty along with how to get your bills paid so that the insurance men won’t come after your shoes, so to speak… or maybe they just want dry socks? Who doesn’t these days?
Yurie Kiri is a shy, secretive person who used to live on a boat, sailing between various ports in the Pacific Ocean. Yurie lived on the boat until some crazy mega-yacht got loose and went on a full throttle rampage through the marina squashing everything it hit. Alas, sailing was one of Yurie’s passions, now writing and photography are the main passions in Yurie Kiri’s life along with cats of course like the enhanced, intelligent cats featured in New York Stories…
Yurie Kiri, born in a trailer in rural America, studied Mathematics and languages and speaks Japanese, English, French and has also studied Chinese, Arabic and Spanish as well as a smattering of other languages such as Korean and Russian along with binary, octal and hexadecimal machine language because if you really want to get to know someone you need to speak their language no matter if they’re machine or human. Yurie lived and worked in Asia for decades before coming back to America where Yurie went on an extensive backroad journey across the US and Canada from the rough Mexican border towns to the icy cold town of Yellowknife in Canada’s NWT where you need to cross a frozen lake to get into town in the winter. Yurie also sailed (single-handed) from Mexico to the Canadian border, retracing a well-traveled road journey by sea in a small, live aboard sailboat. Yurie has been traveling and gathering story ideas from Asia for the Game Series which covers Japan and other Asian countries and North America for the Murder and Mystery Series which covers the American Southwest.
However, if you really want to know who Yurie is, please read the books, they are filled with clues – especially the notes to readers that Yurie uses to introduce the books.
