Description
A sharp, energetic satire of ambition, race, and the American workplace, this novel follows Darren, a gifted but directionless young man whose chance encounter with a charismatic tech founder propels him into the elite sales division of a wildly successful startup. As the company’s lone Black employee, Darren is pressured to reinvent himself as “Buck,” embracing a ruthless corporate persona that strains his relationships and challenges his sense of identity. When personal upheaval forces him to reconsider the price of success, he begins imagining a way to open the doors of corporate America to other young people of color. With its fast-paced storytelling, biting humor, and incisive critique of workplace culture, the book offers a provocative new take on the American dream.
