Modern dating is dead.
Life with a living partner can be tricky. But the #1 dating app in the world, LIV, offers a solution! Date a corpse.
Romantic relationships mean having tough conversations and rough patches. An embalmed body, though? Well, they’ve got no opinions, desires, or complex emotional responses. What was once taboo is now a booming business.
At the heart of this deranged app are three living, breathing humans who all feel quite differently about the new world they’ve built.
Tom is the venture capitalist rockstar who’s mortified he’s funding the whole thing. Auden is LIV’s visionary founder who’s ready to see his app succeed no matter what. And Mara is Auden’s step-sister who has inadvertently found herself entrenched in a tech business she has no interest in.
Forging a business relationship based on a dating app for corpses is one thing. But finding love in a world now obsessed with death will prove almost impossible.
For Human Use is a twisted tale of modern love that bends every genre, sears itself into your brain, and presents a horrific romantic comedy unlike anything you’ve ever read before.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. An unforgettable debut, For Human Use is a twisted tale of modern love that bends every genre, sears itself into your brain, and presents a horrific romantic comedy unlike anything you've ever read before. "An utterly ingenious horror-romcom, darkly zeitgeisty, and unnervingly plausible--funny as hell, too. You will not forget this book." Heather Aimee O'Neill, author of Read With Jenna book club pick The Irish Goodbye Modern dating is dead. Finding a human connection online has become impossible. Enter Liv: a dating app that matches people with dead bodies. Somehow, it has taken the world by storm. Millions of users are convinced that life with a corpse presents a better alternative to conventional relationships. Flailing against Liv's popularity, venture capital superstar Tom Williamson--whose company is funding Liv--isn't buying it. Mostly because dating an embalmed cadaver, let alone monetizing it, is obscene. Believing that Liv is the future, Auden White, the insufferable "visionary" behind the app begins demanding more and more funding, quickly making enemies with Tom. It's no secret that Tom struggles with people, dead or alive, but when he has a chance meeting with the woman who knows Auden (and his secrets) best, Mara Reed, he realizes everything is about to change for all three of them. With Liv's userbase growing by the day, the need for cadavers rapidly increases. Humanity might not want to connect with other living, breathing people anymore, but they do want to connect with something. What could go wrong? "A wildly entertaining debut. Sarah G. Pierce cleverly skewers our modern era of disconnection and corporate overreach. But amid the horror and humor there is a deeply human love story at the heart of this book." E.K Sathue, author of Youthjuice "A razor-sharp satire of venture capitalism, online influence culture, and The Discourse, Pierce holds a mirror to an all-too familiar reality where the unthinkable becomes thinkable if there's profit to be made and prestige to be gained. A human romance in a world gasping for human connection, this one goes places!" Bitter Karella, author of Moonflow Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9780316586535
