Synopsis

Prescription for a Superior Existence

About this title

Review:

‘Josh Emmons has created a wholly original, brave, and disturbingly plausible novel, an existential, theological, fin du monde thriller about star-crossed orphans, twenty-first-century cults, environmental angst, and the extremes and consequences of desire’ James P. Othmer, author of The Futurist

‘An acidly hilarious, tightly plotted adventure that folds big themes, romantic moments, and a little thing called the end of the world into its pages. Both a wicked skewering of religious cults and a finely wrought testament to their power, this novel reads like Raymond Chandler rollicking through the house of L. Ron Hubbard. It's as probing and smart as it is moving, hopeful, and sweet’ Alix Ohlin, author of Babylon and Other Stories

‘Resembles something Philip K. Dick might have written had he lived to experience the climate crisis and squash risotto’ New York Times
