SPECULATIONS - ELLIOTT BAY SCIENCE FICTION & FANTASY BOOK GROUP

06/15/2010 6:30 pm
As the literature of ideas and imagination, Science Fiction and Fantasy simply demands discussion. Jennifer Government by Max Barry is our selection for June. Taxation has been abolished, the government has been privatized, and employees take the surname of the company they work for. It's a brave new corporate world, but you don't want to be caught without a platinum credit card—as lowly Merchandising Officer Hack Nike is about to find out. Trapped into building street cred for a new line of $2500 sneakers by shooting customers, Hack attracts the barcode-tattooed eye of the legendary Jennifer Government. A stressed-out single mom, corporate watchdog, and government agent who has to rustle up funding before she's allowed to fight crime, Jennifer Government is holding a closing down sale—and everything must go. The Boston Globe said, "The plot rockets forward on hyperdrive...fresh and very clever."
