About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Soon to be an HBO Max series starring Ray Romano and Cristin Milioti.

Hazel has just moved into a trailer park of senior citizens, with her father and Diane - his sex doll companion. Life with Hazel's father is strained at best, but it's got to be better than her marriage to dominating tech billionaire, Byron Gogol. For over a decade, Hazel has been quarantining in Byron's family compound, her every movement and vital sign tracked. So when Byron demands to wirelessly connect the two of them via brain chips, turning Hazel into a human guinea pig, Hazel makes a run for it. Will Hazel be able to free herself from Byron's virtual clutches before he finds her?

A gloriously absurd and hugely entertaining satire about intimacy and love from the provocative writer of the acclaimed novel Tampa.

Surprisingly, this is one that I watched the series first- having no idea that there was a book! I enjoyed the series so much that I had to give the book a read once I finished. It’s such a quirky and well written book- a very quick read for me!

The series is also SO well done, a black mirror-esque comedy which is both clever and hilarious. The series really fleshes out and goes beyond the book, which I personally really liked.

We definitely need a sequel from @nutting_alissa asap. Or a prequel. There’s so much potential inside this crazy book!

This is an interesting book, I came to read it after watching the TV series, it is definitely different but holds a lot of the same humour that the tv show does.

I enjoyed it somewhat but I found the main character at times frustrating as she went on long winded side stories and explanation for things, I found myself listening to it on 1.5 speed to get through some of the ramblings a bit quicker.
