Jennifer Government

Set in a near-future world dominated by giant corporations, Max Barry’s Jennifer Government offers a sharp, satirical look at a society where capitalism reigns supreme and government functions are privatized. The story follows Hack Nike, a low-level employee caught in a chaotic collision of corporate greed and violence, as he navigates a landscape filled with extreme consumerism, security firms, and corporate loyalty. With a fiercely determined detective on his trail, the novel combines dark humor and pointed critique to explore a dystopian reality shaped by unchecked corporate power.
