Sinossi
Sarah G. Pierce’s debut, For Human Use, is a glossy, razor-cut spiral into algorithmic obsession and capitalist absurdity where the dread hits hardest because it reads like a headline you’ve already scrolled past.
★ “A wildly entertaining debut. Sarah G. Pierce cleverly skewers our modern era of disconnection and corporate overreach. But amid the horror and humor there is a deeply human love story at the heart of this book.” ―E.K Sathue, author of Youthjuice
When Liv, a sleek new app that matches users with dead bodies, becomes a cultural obsession, the world doesn’t recoil. It invests. It scales. And it starts asking how many more cadavers can be sourced before Q4.
Tom, a venture capitalist, knows this should be a hard no. But really, who can argue with a spreadsheet? The founder Auden is insufferable and Mara, who knows too much, is just trying to survive this Brave New World of bloodless tech-managed desire.
Twisted, smart, and disturbingly plausible, For Human Use is for the emotionally exhausted and professionally complicit―perfect for readers who didn’t know they were craving a crossover of Severance and John Marrs’ The One.
★ "An utterly ingenious horror-romcom, darkly zeitgeisty, and unnervingly plausible―funny as hell, too. You will not forget this book." ―Heather Aimee O'Neill, author of Read With Jenna book club pick The Irish Goodbye
★ "A razor-sharp satire of venture capitalism, online influence culture, and The Discourse, Pierce holds a mirror to an all-too familiar reality where the unthinkable becomes thinkable if there's profit to be made and prestige to be gained. A human romance in a world gasping for human connection, this one goes places!" ―Bitter Karella, author of Moonflow

For Human Use
Da: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: Good. An unforgettable debut, For Human Use is a twisted tale of modern love that bends every genre, sears itself into your brain, and presents a horrific romantic comedy unlike anything you've ever read before. Modern dating is dead. Finding a human connection online has become impossible. Enter Liv: a dating app that matches people with dead bodies. Somehow, it has taken the world by storm. Millions of users are convinced that life with a corpse presents a better alternative to conventional relationships. Flailing against Liv's popularity, venture capital superstar Tom Williamson--whose company is funding Liv --isn't buying it. Mostly because dating an embalmed cadaver, let alone monetizing it, is obscene. Believing that Liv is the future, Auden White, the insufferable visionary behind the app begins demanding more and more funding, quickly making enemies with Tom. It's no secret that Tom struggles with people, dead or alive, but when he has a chance meeting with the woman who knows Auden (and his secrets) best, Mara Reed, he realizes everything is about to change for all three of them. With Liv's userbase growing by the day, the need for cadavers rapidly increases. Humanity might not want to connect with other living, breathing people anymore, but they do want to connect with something. What could go wrong? Codice articolo 00109327951
