Trotsky works for a neuromarketing company that scans his brain to test new products. Only his name isn't really Trotsky - that's a code name he's forced to use. And the products aren't real - they're hologram prototypes. Trapped in an increasingly artificial world that leaves him haunted by hallucinations, Trotsky goes to accident scenes at night in search of something genuine. Instead, he finds Holiday, a wannabe actress who fakes accidents for insurance settlements but who dreams of stardom. She leads him to the Resistance, a violent underground society living in a forgotten space in the mall that runs throughout the city. But when an encounter with a troubled cop turns deadly, the group is discovered by the media and dubbed and "The Warhol Gang. and " At first Holiday and Trotsky embrace their notoriety, but they're forced to confront their own desires and differences when the gang takes on a life of its own and the body count rises.The Warhol Gang is an absurdist tale for an age of absurdism, a black comedy for anyone who's ever been trapped in an endless mall or fantasized about wiping out everyone in the office."A violent, darkly comic satire of our media-saturated society" - The Globe and Mail and "A brilliant, brutal evocation of contemporary life, less a satire than it is a warning. ... It's an exhilarating, disturbing, occasionally nauseating reading experience. ... One of the finest, and most important, Canadian novels in recent memory. and " - Robert Wiersema, Edmonton Journal and "an action-packed, rollicking story that serves as a biting satire of consumerism, capitalism, affluenza, and fame. and " - Quill and u0026 Quire
