The Story of Nine is an eclectic collection of 9 short stories that encompasses diverse genres and themes but tied together under a playful yet austere umbrella named pop philosophy. From a mini-thriller that traces the footsteps of a thug who pounces on his helpless victim but only to have the table turned on him to a scientific deconstruction of what it truly means to be hanging out in a nightclub or read in amusement (or maybe in horror) the nascent of yet another religion and wrap everything up with the story of a man on the brink of suicide that is neither inspiring or touching but amusing.
The Story of Nine's pop philosophy should be read with a pair of sarcasm-tinted glasses considering how its name is derived. Pop because it's crunchy, fast-paced and flashy like techno track and Philosophy for the underlying current is one of serenity and maturity.
