Overview
Characters battle with the unsettling surreality of a near-future surveillance state in this new collection of interlinking short stories perfect for fans of Black Mirror.
“One of the most important new voices in fiction.” —Alan Moore, award-winning author of Watchmen and V for Vendetta
Set in an eerily near future, this collection of innovatively structured literary vignettes from gothic genius Heather Parry offers a morbid descent into what awaits in the endgame of capitalism.
Heather is a young performance artist with middling talent but flawless instincts for self-promotion. Finally given her big shot, she prepares a new work about the world we live in – a world of technology, violence, power and accelerating absurdity. But as she stares into the abyss of the now, her friends begin to worry. Is Heather making her masterpiece, or is she losing her mind?
Around her, reality bleeds into nightmare. A woman is trapped inside her home by the terms of her rental contract. America reenacts the assassination of JFK. A father and daughter, unknown to one another, collaborate on the building of a chatbot.
Heather is trying to make sense of it all. But now that she sees clearly the humming madness beneath the surface of every image, the world can never be looked at the same way again.
Taking its reader on a cultural hellride, This Machine Feeds answers the question that howls in all of our chests: how can I be sane in insane times?
