This early, award-winning novel is two parallel stories presented in alternating chapters with none of the characters named. Hard Boiled Wonderland involves Calcutec, a human data processor and encryption system who uses his subconscious as an encryption key. He works for a secretive scientist in an underground Tokyo. End of the World involves the Narrator who has had his shadow removed thus removing his memory of his former life. He is tasked with reading the dreams housed in the skulls of dead animals with the assistance of the Librarian. Those descriptions don't even begin to cover Murakami's work. The best I can do is say you need to read it because I can't explain it to you.
