What follows is a scheme so elaborate and implausible that, given an unlimited budget, a cast of hired conspirators, filming locations in a former Soviet state and buckets of bleeding-edge AI, it might just become the next Pizzagate or Wayfair. With the conspiratorial decadence of \u003ci\u003eEyes Wide Shut\u003c\/i\u003e and the ludicrously elaborate reality-building of \u003ci\u003eWag the Dog\u003c\/i\u003e, plus nods to mid-century juvenile adventure novels and just a hint of cosmic horror, \u003ci\u003eSpiller Saves the Day\u003c\/i\u003e is a gleefully ingenious novel about privilege, power and the stories we tell about both—and what happens when fiction overwrites the truth.","brand":"Soho Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50971779727615,"sku":"9781641299510","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781641299510","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
