A smile is your best bulletproof vest. To maintain control, power-hungry politicians are pushing the world to the brink of a third world war. And the media lies to the people, presenting a false sense of security. But in reality, a bleak future awaits humanity. Yet more and more people are reading a mysterious book and memorizing its instructions. They are ready to free themselves from the elites. The day of reckoning is near. There is no God, no heaven, and no hell. There is only your son, and his son, and his son, and the world you leave behind for them. Harsh, brutal, and socially critical. As if Palahniuk mixed his famous Fight Club with The Purge and 1984. Vice: "A novel that reveals both the terrible and the absurd aspects of today's America." National Public Radio: "A fast, horrifying descent into madness.".
