About this audiobook
For twenty years, Dale Lank has enjoyed a life of quiet, blissful ignorance. Like everyone else, he leases out the unused parts of his brain to corporations. A sock magnate uses his subconscious to dream up new argyle patterns. In return, Dale gets a steady paycheck and a life of automated, frictionless ease.
Until the company goes bankrupt.
Suddenly, Dale is hit with a tidal wave of his own unfiltered consciousness. The world is too loud, food has too many flavors, and he can't remember how to make a decision.
He finds a therapist AI who dispenses wisdom via mangled sitcom quotes, a cult that believes he's the prophesied "Human Prime," and a startling discovery in his own mental archives: a sentient, secret intelligence named Mabel who has been living in his head all along.
Now, Dale must not only fight for his own soul in a surreal virtual courtroom but also protect his daughter from the same system, all while trying to negotiate with the ghost in his own machine.
