Autofiction. Emily Segal, artist and trend forecaster in her 20s, tries to tell the future by reading the present. Literature finds commercial form in the shape of eXe, a mysterious and well-funded internet start-up that offers her a job. A conceptual take-over is deployed; gendered power play ensues; queerness incubates; memes converge. Set in New York City, post-Occupy and pre-Trump. First person / mixed media / pulp. Not actually about astrology. Published in 2020.

Emily Segal (b. 1988, New York, NY) is an artist, writer, and trend forecaster based in Los Angeles. She co-founded the trend forecasting group K-HOLE, and currently directs the think tank and consultancy Nemesis. Her essays and interviews have appeared in e-flux journal, Frieze, Texte zur Kunst, Flash Art, Dazed, Mousse, 032c and many other publications. Mercury Retrograde is her first novel.
