The Parade: A Novel

"Modern life is horrible and also opaque. By which I mean, the nature of the global economy means that I don’t know where my clothes or food or tech come from or the conditions under which they’re made. But I do know that I’d probably find the answers horrifying – the same emotion I felt after finishing Dave Eggers’ novella The Parade, a parable about global development, megacorporations and human connection. Read it and rest assured there are few unambiguously ethical choices under capitalism."
