ZERO STARS, DO NOT RECOMMEND: A Novel
(summer ‘24, preorder link in bio)
Professional underachiever Dan Foster is finally taking a vacation. Sure, his life has been average at best, and, yeah, he’s never quite lived up to his potential. But after a few Miller Lites in paradise with his girlfriend Mara, things are starting to look up.
Then the sun explodes.
With the island resort suddenly plunged into darkness (he really should’ve sprung for the travel insurance), Dan’s holiday goes from bad to worse when elite guests stage a coup and commandeer supplies. As temperatures drop and class tensions rise, revolution begins to brew on the island, and Dan accidentally becomes a beacon of hope for the surviving vacationers. But when one six-person plane is discovered that could get them back to the mainland, Dan realizes he has a choice to make.
Does he escape the island with Mara? Or does he stay and fight to become the most unlikely hero of the end of the world?

MJ here. You’ve probably seen some of your favorite authors post this image—what it means is that @zuck ’s Meta has stolen their books and used them to train its AI so it can talk real good and overuse em dashes or whatever.
Meta is a trillion-dollar-plus company with more resources than God. Court documents show the company briefly considered licensing our books, you know, legally, but then decided it would cost too much and take too long. AI dominance waits for no man.
So instead they’ve decided to completely violate copyright law and feed books wholesale into their system. They’re going to argue fair use when this inevitably gets challenged, but they’re absolutely using this for commercial purposes, so if the world still makes sense that can’t hold up.
Full list of stolen books can be found @theatlantic
Authors—write your agents and publishers, efforts are already underway to fight back. Readers—keep supporting artists. @zuck eat shit
