Description
A bracing satirical debut about the implosion of a Theranos-like company, the end of a relationship, and life for the .001% under late-stage capitalism, for fans of Hari Kunzru and The Dropout. In a short 72 hours, Victoria Stevens' multibillion-dollar startup will be exposed as a massive fraud, leaving her husband and collaborator Guy Sarvananthan to make one of two choices: either pick up the pieces and reinvent himself, or return to his native Sri Lanka as an outcast and a failure. While V decides her best course of action is to disappear herself from the world--take a much-needed pause by faking her own death--Guy decides he won't be buckling to the conditions of V's self-created demise. He chooses option three: screw it, take the corporate jet to a private Caribbean island, and obscure all sense of regret by having every drink, drug, and debauched interaction he can find. As Guy drunkenly wanders the gilded hallways and sleek yachts of a tropical "philanthropy summit" for the 0.001%, V narrates her side of the story from an off-grid cabin in the California desert. But how long can this fragile arrangement last before the whole house of cards comes tumbling down? Ryan Chapman's hilarious, incisive debut is the high-octane tragicomedy of two high-flying grifters facing their imminent downfall.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
