Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Swipe Wright: Dating in the Age of the Disposable Heart is a sharp, funny, and insightful satirical novel about modern love in the era of apps, algorithms, and endless choice.Frank Wright, a middle-aged San Francisco firefighter, thought he had life mostly figured out. A steady job, a long marriage, and a comfortable routine gave him the illusion of stability-until it all collapses at once. Suddenly single in a world that has moved almost entirely online, Frank finds himself navigating the strange new landscape of dating apps, curated identities, and digital courtship rituals.What begins as a simple attempt to meet someone quickly turns into a comic odyssey through swipe culture. Profiles promise perfection, conversations disappear without explanation, and every date seems to reveal another layer of the modern 'disposable heart.' As Frank moves from hopeful matches to awkward encounters and unexpected connections, he begins to see how technology has reshaped not just dating, but the way people see themselves and each other.Set against the colorful backdrop of San Francisco-from neighborhood bars and sushi spots to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge-Frank's journey is filled with humor, reflection, and the occasional hard truth about loneliness, expectations, and the illusion of endless options.Both hilarious and thoughtful, Swipe Wright explores the paradox of modern romance: in a world where meeting someone has never been easier, genuine connection has never felt more elusive. Through wit, satire, and moments of surprising heart, the novel asks whether authenticity, patience, and real human connection can still survive in a culture built on speed, convenience, and the next swipe.Perfect for readers who enjoy contemporary satire, humorous relationship fiction, and stories about modern dating, Swipe Wright will resonate with anyone who has ever stared at a dating profile and wondered what lies behind the carefully chosen photos and clever one-line bio.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. After his 18-year marriage unravels, Frank Wright finds himself alone, middle-aged, and dropped into the swipe-right world of dating apps.
