Synopsis

What if you were a novelist in a world where the only media people consumed was spectacular pornography about war with titles like Wonder Woman and Captain America? What if your country had elected as its leader a shameless millionaire who was stealing your money, your democracy and your dignity? What if the media were owned by filthy rich men who didn't give two shits about any of it as long as it continued to make them filthy rich? Wouldn't it be enough to send you certifiably insane? To make you write a novel about an immortal lesbian fairy that mimicked the conventions of movies like Wonder Woman but became an accidental allegory for #MeToo? To write a savage death wail of a satire about how the rich stole everything from us? Enough to make you, reader, consider laying off the spectacular pornography about war for long enough to read it?

Media Reviews
Praise for I Hate the Internet: 'Hilariously caustic ... his genius in this relentlessly quotable tirade is to hector you about the shady workings of money and power while making you laugh on every page * Metro *
Wildly entertaining ... inspired ... he leaves you inspecting the carnage with a grin on your face * Spectator *
Jagged and quotable ... one can open it on almost any page for pithy, scathing take-downs of life, the universe and everything * Times Literary Supplement *
Author Bio
Jarett Kobek is a Turkish-American writer living in California. His novella ATTA, a psychedelic biography of the 9/11 bomber Mohamed Atta, was an unexplained bestseller in parts of Canada. His first novel I Hate the Internet was a bestseller everywhere, but especially in Serbia where people really went nuts for it. His second novel The Future Won't Be Long wasn't a bestseller anywhere, but it was published in the United States by an imprint of a company that spent much of World War 2 printing propaganda for Nazi Germany. So there's that. Hypocrisy, folks! It's everywhere!
