{"product_id":"wild-victim-unit","title":"Wild Victim Unit","description":"The year is 2015. Instagram is surging in popularity and everyone has been talking about social media's revolutionary potential.\nBut 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.\nThe 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.\nWILD VICTIM UNIT is a darkly ironic novel about the beginnings of surveillance capitalism and the end of Pax Americana.\n\nJakob 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.\nHe lives in New York City.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0DPVJ8Y1M\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0DPVJ8Y1M.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Boeskov, Jakob S.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
