kluge

If you and I are in the same =‘entertainment venue’ for this =‘stand-up comedy special’ and I am =‘my body’ and you are =‘my audience’ I run to you and shout your name into the dark, in the hope you are there.

Yes, you
=‘dear reader’
=‘attentive listener’.

This is a story about the end days of a tech company and its all-powerful owner, told in the style of a stand-up comedy special.

Prophetic, propulsive and absurdly entertaining, kluge is a workplace satire about artificial intelligence and the value of a body–and Pip Adam’s best novel yet.

‘utterly unmooring . . . a work of outrageous genius.’ —Jordy Rosenberg, author of Night Night Fawn
