At twenty-three years old, Dan Simmonds wants nothing more than time: time to listen to his favorite death metal bands, time to replay the video games of his childhood, time to study the dreamlike paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, time to watch all the classic action movies of the eighties and nineties. But as a recent college graduate with a liberal arts degree in one hand and a threat of eviction from his dad's house in the other, Dan has to find a Real Job to support himself by the end of the summer. Enter Infinity Systems Corporation: an enigmatic technology company whose headquarters are housed within a one-hundred and twenty-seven-floor skyscraper standing alone amid the vast swath of upstate New York farmland just outside Dan's rural hometown of Topine, New York. When Dan gets called in for an interview at the ISC tower, his life seems to be moving in the right direction. But moments after stepping into the lobby, things start to get weird. Here he meets a receptionist with an anger management problem, an executive who has not left her office bathroom in half a century, a former track and field star who only needs one hour of sleep per night, an elevator operator who creates the most popular animal plushies in the world, and other eccentric employees. And as if that isn't enough, there are the rumors of a phantom-like serial killer with supernatural abilities who has been wreaking havoc within the tower for the past ninety-six years. Full of mystery, horror, and Kafkaesque absurdity, Skyscraper is a kaleidoscopic exploration of our rapidly evolving relationships with technology, social media, careers, and each other.
