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