Beschreibung

<p><b>Sarah G. Pierce's debut, </b><i><b>For Human Use</b></i><b>, 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.</b></p><p><b>"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 </b><i><b>Youthjuice</b></i><br><br>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Twisted, smart, and disturbingly plausible, <i>For Human Use</i> is for the emotionally exhausted and professionally complicit-perfect for readers who didn't know they were craving a crossover of <i>Severance</i> and John Marrs' <i>The One</i>.</p><p><b> "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 </b><i><b>The Irish Goodbye</b></i><br><br><b> "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 </b><i><b>Moonflow</b></i></p>
