    From legendary actor and activist Sean Penn comes a darkly humorous novella featuring Bob Honey, a modern American man, entrepreneur, and part-time assassin. Struggling with loneliness and alienation, Bob grapples with a culture that prioritizes branding over being. He finds it difficult to connect with others, often dreaming of his ex-wife, waking up unhappy beside her. His life is dominated by advertising and commerce, leaving him frustrated yet unable to escape the constant barrage of marketing. A quintessential entrepreneur, Bob sells septic tanks to Jehovah's Witnesses and organizes pyrotechnic displays for foreign dictators, all while working as a part-time assassin for a CIA program targeting those deemed burdensome to society. When a curious journalist begins to probe into his life, Bob is torn between the possibility of friendship and the threat of exposure. Amidst a backdrop of political turmoil and societal decay, he realizes it's time for a change—if he can evade his shadowy controllers and the voracious media. This provocative novella resonates with fans of Chuck Palahniuk and Hunter S. Thompson, marking the publishing debut of one of America's most acclaimed artists.
