In this audacious and honest debut, a college student’s life in New York City serves as a satirical endorsement of modern life everywhere. Collin finds the self-service kiosks at McDonald’s consistent and calming in an otherwise chaotic world. He stands before one, swiping through the interactive menu as a way to ground himself more firmly in his reality—a reality of video games, posting furniture on Craigslist, and chatting with strangers on Discord.

Lo scrittore Guido Battaglia è un inventore di storie, meglio, di barzellette. In crisi dopo la partenza della collega Valeria, talento prezioso per la stesura d’ogni sua opera, vive smarrito in un’imprecisata città su cui imperversa un bacillo sconosciuto, dando intanto corpo a ricordi e fantasmi.

These stories slip and slide between genres - from video games to fan fiction, body horror to choose-your-own-adventure - as characters cycle through giddying changes in gender, physiology, species, and identity. Collapsing boundaries between bodies and forms, these fictions interrogate the visceral, gross, and absurd.

Josef K. hat als Prokurist ein gesichertes Einkommen, unterhält nette weibliche Bekanntschaften, wird von seiner Vermieterin geschätzt - wunderbar, doch dann gerät er unschuldig in die Mühlen der Justiz. Obwohl er alles Menschenmögliche unternimmt, durch Onkel und renommierten Anwalt Unterstützer hat, um der juristischen Willkür zu begegnen, muss er feststellen, dass "Justitia" sich zu einem komplexen undurchdringlichen eigenständigen Organismus entwickelt hat, innerhalb deren Wirkungs- und Geltungsbereich man vergeblich auf Vernunft, Logik, Rationalität oder Menschlichkeit hoffen kann.
