In Max Barry's twisted, hilarious vision of the near future, the world is run by giant American corporations (except for a few deluded holdouts like the French); taxes are illegal; employees take the last names of the companies they work for; the Police and the NRA are publicly traded security firms; the Government may investigate crimes only if it can bill a citizen directly. It's a free market paradise!
Hack Nike is a lowly Merchandising Officer who's not very good at negotiating his salary. So when John Nike and John Nike, executives from the promised land of Marketing, offer him a contract, he signs without reading it. Unfortunately, Hack's new contract involves committing murder to build up street cred for Nike's new line of $2,500 sneakers. Scared, Hack goes to the Police, who assume he's asking for a subcontracting deal and lease the job to the NRA.
Soon Hack finds himself pursued by Jennifer Government, a tough-talking agent with a barcode tattoo under her eye and a rabid determination to nail John Nike (the boss of the other John Nike). In a world where your job title means everything, the most cherished possession is a platinum credit card, and advertising jingles give way to artillery in the fight for market share, Jennifer Government is the consumer watchdog from hell.
