Wild Victim Unit

The year is 2015. Instagram is surging in popularity and everyone has been talking about social media's revolutionary potential. But in a microscopic Manhattan apartment, foreign filmmaker Clint Levanter sits alone in the dark. He misses his millionaire ex-girlfriend Daisy, and worries about the future. The wheel of destiny turns when a Hollywood friend hires Clint to script a biopic about legendary sci-fi writer Vance Palentine (1938–1980)— famous for describing a future United States driven to a total collapse by a psychotic AI system named The Design. In Hollywood, our protagonist finally sees his first big paycheck. But as the screenplay develops, the American film industry unravels in a tidal wave of abuse scandals, and Clint leaves California in a broken Tesla, driving across a nation haunted by oligarchy, gender wars, race riots and the enigmatic birth of artificial general intelligence. WILD VICTIM UNIT is a darkly ironic novel about the beginnings of surveillance capitalism and the end of Pax Americana. Jakob S. Boeskov, author of two non-fiction books, is also an artist, filmmaker and writer. His texts have appeared in Lettre International, DIS Magazine, Kunstkritikk and Not Magazine. He lives in New York City.
