In "The Gospel According to Larry," teenager Josh Swensen creates a popular yet controversial website, leading him to feel trapped by his alter-ego, "Larry." As he contemplates "pseudocide"—the idea of faking his own death to escape his internet persona—he faces the dangers of isolation and the challenges of consumerism.
The Gospel According to Larry is an incredibly clever and timely pop culture story told through the journal of 17-yr-old Josh Swenson. Josh is bright, articulate, idealistic and in love with Beth - the girl next door and his best friend since sixth grade. Afraid to declare himself, he pours his energy into a clever website, through which his alter ego, Larry, advocates introspection, tolerance and anticonsumerism.
Josh Swensen, stuck in a rut and struggling with apathy, is urged by his concerned friend Beth to seek a change. A walk at Walden Pond introduces him to Gus Muldarian, a charismatic spiritual guru who invites him to a study group aimed at exploring life's deeper meanings. Initially skeptical, Josh reluctantly joins, leading to an unexpected journey filled with chaos and profound insights. This exploration not only challenges his perceptions but also ignites a transformative adventure that reawakens his imagination and purpose.
