Sobre este áudio
What if you could enter the mind of the person you love the most?
Enka meets Mathilde in art school and is instantly drawn to her. Mathilde makes art that feels truly original, and Enka—trying hard to prove herself in this fiercely competitive world—pours everything into their friendship. But when Mathilde’s fame and success cause her to begin drifting away, Enka becomes desperate to keep her close.
Enter SCAFFOLD. Purported to enhance empathy, this cutting-edge technology could allow Enka to inhabit Mathilde’s mind and access her memories, artistic inspirations, and deep-seated trauma. Undergoing this procedure would link Enka and Mathilde forever. But at what cost?
Blisteringly smart, thought-provoking, and shocking, Immaculate Conception offers us a portrait of close friendship—achingly tender and twisted—that captures the tenuous line between love and possession that will haunt you long after you hear the final word.

Named a Most Anticipated Title by Harper's Bazaar, Bustle, Reader's Digest, Book Riot, The Nerd Daily, Gold House, Read or Dead and Bookish
“Through these rich characters, Ling Ling Huang raises important questions about not only the boundaries between art and tech but also the blurred lines between originality, autonomy, and possession.”—Harper's Bazaar, "Best Books of Spring"
"A good friend is hard to find, but how close is too close? Ling Ling Huang’s Immaculate Conception details the unsettling unraveling of a codependent friendship between two artists... This explosive new book release explores themes of jealousy, greed, classism and toxic female friendships in a modern dystopia."—Reader's Digest, "Most-Anticipated New Book Releases of 2025"
"Any artists freaked out by generative AI, virtual reality, and the general future of creativity in a technocracy will have fun inside Ling Ling Huang’s near-future version of the competitive art world... she grounds her imaginative narrative in the raw feeling of envying a friend who’s more successful and wanting to do crazy things to absorb whatever special touch they have. As the dedication reads, this book is 'for the jealous.'"—Bustle, "The Best New Books of Spring 2025"
