The Appetite Factory

Perfect for Fans of Black Mirror:The Appetite Factory is an inventive picaresque and absurdly hilarious critique of society’s addiction to recreational outrage. It’s a clever and highly entertaining take on the all-too-familiar crises of the scandal-obsessed news cycle and the capitalist marketing machine.
Absurdist Fiction for the Post-Truth Era:The Appetite Factory is Man in the Gray Flannel Suit and A Confederacy of Dunces set against contemporary consumer culture and the rise of social media mobs.
