A HIGHLY UNLIKELY SCENARIO

In the spirit of "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," a hilarious dystopian novel about a world ruled by fast food companies, where book clubs lead the revolution. In a future not too many years from now, three giant fast food chains control the world. Leonard works for Neetsa Pizza, in a lonely but highly-surveilled home office, answering calls on the complaint line. It's a boring job--he's been told what to say in every possible scenario. Except then someone who says he's Marco Polo starts calling ... and what do you say to Marco Polo? Plus, Neetsa Pizza doesn't like it when you go off-script. Meanwhile Leonard's sister keeps disappearing on secret missions with her book club, leaving him to take care of his little nephew, whom Leonard promptly loses. Which means Leonard has to go outside, which is how he finds out that book clubs are trying to overthrow the governing fast food chains. This is, in short, a hilarious and dazzling debut novel in the spirit of "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," wherein Pythagorean theories about pizza, lost Jewish mystics, rare book librarians, nephews with dyslexia, and book club nerds, all add up to a chance at saving the world.
