Deepfake

Michalis Krokos returns to an Athens that has changed—and this time he finds himself facing a strange and dangerous mission.

On a hot day at the beginning of summer, an unexpected visitor draws him into an adventure with unpredictable twists. In order to help a friend, he infiltrates a far-right organization as a copywriter and moves through central Athens, navigating tourism, gentrification, and the city’s new realities.

With Makis Malafekas’s trademark dark humor, irony, and sharp eye, Deepfake is a novel about a city in transformation, the age of images and deception, and the blurred boundaries between reality, storytelling, and “error.”

A contemporary, subversive, and darkly humorous novel that draws you into a world where nothing is quite what it seems.
