About this audiobook
*The Slow Vanishing of Michael* is a novel exploring ambition, access, and the invisible architecture of power. For years, comedian Michael Stein chased the high of making it, relying on his uncanny ability to read a room in seconds. When he catches the attention of a billionaire class that operates above the need for conspiracies, Michael is granted entry into "the layer"—where the ultra-wealthy quietly steer society through shared calendars and catered dinners instead of secret meetings. As a fixture at their table, Michael realizes the devastating truth: he has not been invited to join them, but to entertain them. Poisoned by his observant nature, he slowly disconnects from his brilliant wife, Nikki, and the grounded life she built. Darkly comedic, it asks just what happens when you finally see the machinery holding up the world, only to realize nobody cares if you break it.
