The Better Animal: A Novel de Ken Ballen

The Better Animal: A Novel: ULYSSES PRESS

Autor Ken Ballen, Wu Ming (Anonymous)
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 noi 2026

A gripping and ultimately hopeful tale of a future America on the cusp of electing the most unusual President in its history and an allegorical take on the state of our current political climate and technological advances-for readers of speculative fiction, LGBTQ stories, and politics.

It is 2040 and American democracy faces its last chance, held in the ruthless grip of an authoritarian and abusive administration. In this turmoil, an unlikely new voice emerges: Kit, a candidate offering a platform of change and a truth that the nation has been desperate to hear.

At the heart of Kit's campaign are two men, Wing, a young scientist of exceptional intelligence, and Jake, an accomplished prosecutor and former top Presidential advisor. As the country descends from corruption and hatred and prejudice, Kit leads the men, emerging from their own trauma, on an unexpected journey of redemption and love.

Offering to take the country on a path of redemption too and empowered by a voice made possible through AI, Kit becomes the first dog to run for President. Now, a besieged nation listens to a transformative message never imagined before by a human. For the first time, America can hear a new language, with Kit herself leading the way.

Descriere

It is 2040, and the American presidential election is a fractured battle for democracy, held in the ruthless grip of an administration defined by corruption. In this turmoil, an unlikely new voice emerges: Kit, a candidate offering a platform of change and a truth that the nation has been desperate to hear. At the heart of this fight are two men, Wing, a young scientist of exceptional intelligence, and Jake, an accomplished investigator and former top Presidential advisor. Drawn together by Kit, they fall in love, finding in her a singular companion whose heart and devotion reveal a new vision of what leadership could be. Now their journey has led to this moment: the day Kit steps forward to challenge a corrupt incumbent for the highest office in the land. But this is no ordinary contender. Offering to take the country on a path of redemption and empowered by a voice made possible through AI, Kit charts a new way forward as history's first dog to run for President. With Jake and Wing helping to guide her campaign, the besieged nation listens to a truth never before heard from a human podium. Now, for the first time, America can hear a new language, with Kit herself leading the way.
