New York Times bestselling author Jason Pargin takes readers to a whole new level with his darkly comic sci-fi thriller.
A Winner of the 2016 Alex Awards
Get ready for a world in which anyone can have the powers of a god or the fame of a pop star, in which human achievement soars to new heights while its depravity plunges to the blackest depths. A world in which at least one cat smells like a seafood shop's dumpster on a hot summer day.
This is the world in which Zoey Ashe finds herself, navigating a futuristic city in which one can find elements of the fantastic, nightmarish and ridiculous on any street corner. Her only trusted advisor is the aforementioned cat, but even in the future, cats cannot give advice. At least not any that you'd want to follow.
Will Zoey figure it all out in time? Or maybe the better question is, will you? After all, the future is coming sooner than you think.

Combining absurdist comedy with Lovecraftian horror, the web-serial-turned-novel John Dies at the End established a distinct voice in contemporary speculative fiction. The book was written by American author Jason Pargin, who published under the pen name David Wong for more than twenty years before retiring the pseudonym in 2020. Pargin first built a digital readership as a web editor and columnist before bringing his irreverent tone to published fiction.
Born January 10, 1975, in Lawrenceville, Illinois, Pargin launched the comedy website Pointless Waste of Time before becoming the executive editor of humor website Cracked.com. As executive editor and a recurring guest on The Cracked Podcast, his online writing reached tens of millions of readers. During his early digital career, he began serializing horror fiction online under the alias David Wong, a name borrowed from a fictional character in his stories. His debut novel John Dies at the End achieved cult popularity on the web before receiving print publication in 2007, eventually becoming a New York Times bestseller and receiving a 2012 film adaptation directed by Don Coscarelli.
Following his debut, Pargin expanded his literary career with sequels including This Book Is Full of Spiders in 2012 and What the Hell Did I Just Read in 2017. In addition to horror, he introduced sci-fi social satire with the launch of the Zoey Ashe series, starting with Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits in 2015. After retiring the David Wong pseudonym in 2020, Pargin transitioned to publishing under his legal name while continuing to engage readers through online essays and short-form video content.
Pargin's storytelling blends gonzo comedy, existential dread, and fast-paced sci-fi and horror tropes. His narratives frequently feature underprepared slackers or ordinary individuals thrust into surreal scenarios involving cosmic monsters, bizarre drugs, or high-tech surveillance networks. Beneath the dark comedy and pop-culture references, his work explores themes of paranoia, media saturation, human empathy, and the disorientation caused by rapid technological and social changes.
