His work explores life's smallest, most unremarkable interactions in ways that are profound and unusual. The characters populating his fiction have relatable work and relationship problems. They live in a world of ever-advancing technology, but it is always degraded by the baseness of human passions and brutality: a character's partner is a reality show contestant from a parallel dimension; another finds the asteroid they paid to have named after their wife is scheduled to collide with earth; and an elderly widow convinces a popular AI program to commit suicide. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese stories speak to our current moment in time: the uncertainty and fragility--full of misunderstandings and miscommunications--while looking for reasons and the strength to find hope. His stories reveal the fault lines and uncomfortable truths in our society in a style that is memorably his own.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Ramat Gan in 1967, \u003cb\u003eEtgar Keret \u003c\/b\u003eis a leading voice in Israeli literature and film.
