In “Genesis 2.0”, his latest god-like display of sleight-of-hand, Thailand-based Canadian writer Collin Piprell has upended the biblical old and new testaments, with the son killing off the father. This is the follow-up to “MOM”, the engrossing book released just this past spring with which Piprell launched the “Magic Circles” series. “Genesis 2.0”, though just released last month, was already written by then. In “Genesis 2.0”, Bangkok As We Know It is computer-regenerated almost in its entirety (and the traffic is even worse). A marvel on its own and as part of a continuing saga, “Genesis 2.0” shimmers with a remarkable range of voices as situations require, from stout oratory to quip-laden banter.
