The E Apocrypha
The world is broken. Decades after a catastrophic event—the E—wiped out all technology, the survivors live off the scraps of the fallen civilization’s glory. There has to be more than eking out a miserable existence. The decaying world may yet get another chance. This boxed set collects the 3 novels and a short prequel story of the series.

It examines these Hong Kong underground music practices in relief with specific case studies in Mainland China and Japan to begin re-defining the notion of a ‘musical underground’ in the context of contemporary Hong Kong.
