✦ Synopsis

The acclaimed author of The Peep Diaries and Hello, I'm Special returns to fiction, and delivers a mind-altering collection of short stories that confront the hypocrisies, humiliations and hilarities of modern life. The foibles of the 21st-century ego are on full view in this romp through social conventions -- imaginative, offbeat stories that confront society's intractable dilemmas and deftly capture the zeitgeist of our fractured times.

*An undergraduate gets in way over his head when a class assignment to start a terrorist organization goes viral

*A pregnant 10th-grader struggles with her fetus's insistence that she abort him before both their lives are ruined.

*A man trying to come to terms with the death of a friend becomes obsessed with a funeral home's online braodcasts.

*A mortgage broker gets lost between the Web and the real world in pursuit of a pornography-induced fantasy.
