Summary
"A piercing critique of late stage capitalism and a reckoning with its true cost, JONATHAN ABERNATHY YOU ARE KIND is about a man who takes a job as a dream auditor to pay off an insurmountable student loan debt"--
Jonathan Abernathy is behind on his debts; he has no prospects, no friends, no ambitions. When a government loan forgiveness program offers him a literal dream job, he thinks he's found his big break. If he can appear to be competent at his new job, entering the minds of middle-class workers while they sleep and removing the unsavory detritus of their waking lives from their unconscious, he might have a chance at a new life. He finds his footing in this new role, but reality and morality begin to warp around him: the lines between life and work, love and hate, right and wrong, even sleep and consciousness, begin to blur. -- adapted from jacket
