About this audiobook
What happens when a human life becomes something everybody can profit from?
Life for a Nobody Is a Commodity brings Nobody and the Cast into a funny, provocative investigation of money, desire, status, addiction, law, technology, attention, identity, grief, and the endless human pressure to win. From the streets and black markets to boardrooms, algorithms, credit scores, social media, and the chemistry of the brain, Nobody begins asking who benefits when people are taught to measure themselves by what they own, earn, achieve, or prove..
