Jonathan Abernathy is jobless and drowning debt, so when he's offered a government job as a part of a loan forgiveness program, at first, he thinks it's a dream come true. He takes up the offer and audits the subconscious dreams of white-collar workers—removing any negative emotion that could prevent them from being productive at work.
However, as the nightmares start to take toll on him and he starts to question the ethics of his job, he begins to ask himself whether it's all worth it.
Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind by Molly McGhee delivers a wry, Kafka-esque commentary on the horrors of late-stage capitalism. It's a surreal, feverish satire that may be all-too-relatable for millennials or anyone who's ever worked an office job.
All in all, it's the perfect read for fans of cerebral sci-fi along the lines of Black Mirror.
Thank you, NetGalley and Astra House, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
