A Witty Satirical Sci-Fi Comedy of Hyper-Capitalism, Martian Real Estate, and Telemarketers

In a hilarious near-future society dominated by relentless commercialism and high-pressure sales pitches, mild-mannered real estate agent Fisk Centers is bombarded by automated telemarketers selling everything from robotic morticians to orbital timeshares. Tricked into buying a seemingly worthless plot of land on Mars during an aggressive sales scam, Fisk finds himself in crushing debt.

To evaluate his dubious investment, Fisk travels to Mars, only to discover that his barren Martian plot sits directly atop a valuable geological anomaly. Pursued across the red planet by corporate land grabbers and aggressive sales algorithms, Fisk must use absurd loopholes to outsmart the system.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Piers Anthony delivers a sharp sci-fi comedy skewering consumer culture, corporate greed, and high-pressure sales tactics. Ideal for fans of Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Robert Sheckley, and Harry Harrison.
