You'll love this collection of humorous short stories, set in a near-future mild dystopia where AI's rule the roost. Capital Disrupt's everyday heroes confront rapid, technological change while finding innovative hacks and work-arounds to triumph over inhuman bureaucracy. Capital Disrupt is about overgrowing the system. It's about challenging the prevailing capitalist narrative, which promises prosperity while extracting our hard-earned cash.

Capital Disrupt takes on the surveillance state, mocks artificial intelligence and exalts personal freedom. It's 23 stories will resonate with fans of William Gibson's cyberpunk prophecy or Soviet dissident Mikhail Zoshchenko's theater of the absurd. These stories are firmly grounded in the present, with one foot in the future.

Listen about an AI meddling in a marriage, why the sharing economy is not a caring economy and take advice from a televised, financial guru. Learn how to explain capitalism to your kids in the titular Capital Disrupt and about a Turing test for AIs with a disturbing twist. Explore the horrors of war in a story about bees and chuckle as a machine-learning expert tries to locate a noisy, insistent device.

Capital Disrupt's tall tales are firmly grounded in reality while indulging in dreams and the surreal. Together the stories evoke a consistent message about recapturing our humanity from the machine and celebrating what is uniquely human.
