Jennifer Government
March 20th, 2005
Jennifer Government - very dark , cynical, and very funny look at the world we will live in in a few years time. They did a wonderful editing this, so the story starts immediately and keeps barreling along at breakneck speed. Within the first ten pages a slew of murders are happening in order to grow demand for a new line of Nike shoes. The assassin in question: Hack Nike (possibly the greatest name for a protagonist since Hiro Protagonist). People take surnames from the company they work for. Jennifer works for the Government. Hence the title. Hack works for the shoe company.
It’s a very quick read, and it would surprise me to see this turn into a movie at some point, but with all the actual brand names from the book filed off and replaced with bogus names.
