Die the Villain

"Serret's unique thriller effectively blends a story of cyber espionage with one of self-discovery set against an electric, bling-dripping social scene."

--The Booklife Prize

No one knows who you really are...

Not the Yakuza.

Not your hacker mercs.

Not your handful of friends on the college-bar scene.

Not Chlo , that stunner you met uptown.

Your double life is old hat--a shell game played against all sides. But what will you do when a foiled heist leaves your Darknet crew missing or dead?

What will you do if Chlo 's in danger too?

When everything's on the line...

Who will you become?

Contra the entrenched colonialilty of voice, C. P. Serret presents an intercultural novel, post-postmodernity, of an individual struggle with alienation, anomie, and authenticity; of cybercrime gone wrong and a roller-coaster crash with the rich kids of Instagram--an off-the-rails carnivalised plunge.

Rendered in diamondoid prose, nine years in the making, Die the Villain is the metamodern noir of the final days of our pre-Snowden na vet and the underpinnings of our dystopian present.
