Cette série explore la vie de Bob Honey, un Américain solitaire aux prises avec une culture moderne obsédée par la marque et la superficialité.

Son existence est une mosaïque de paradoxes, allant de la vente de fosses septiques aux Témoins de Jéhovah à l'organisation de feux d'artifice pour des dictateurs, tout en échappant à ses contrôleurs mystérieux. C'est une exploration provocatrice du rêve américain et de la quête d'identité au milieu de la décadence sociétale.

From legendary actor and activist Sean Penn comes a darkly humorous novella featuring Bob Honey, a modern American man, entrepreneur, and part-time assassin. Struggling with loneliness and alienation, Bob grapples with a culture that prioritizes branding over being. He finds it difficult to connect with others, often dreaming of his ex-wife, waking up unhappy beside her. His life is dominated by advertising and commerce, leaving him frustrated yet unable to escape the constant barrage of marketing. A quintessential entrepreneur, Bob sells septic tanks to Jehovah's Witnesses and organizes pyrotechnic displays for foreign dictators, all while working as a part-time assassin for a CIA program targeting those deemed burdensome to society. When a curious journalist begins to probe into his life, Bob is torn between the possibility of friendship and the threat of exposure. Amidst a backdrop of political turmoil and societal decay, he realizes it's time for a change—if he can evade his shadowy controllers and the voracious media. This provocative novella resonates with fans of Chuck Palahniuk and Hunter S. Thompson, marking the publishing debut of one of America's most acclaimed artists.
