Shock Induction By Chuck Palahniuk

From the bestselling author of Fight Club comes a dark, satirical parable exploring the sinister side of ambition and the price of success.

At a seemingly reputable high school, the brightest students are mysteriously disappearing, each loss marked by a devastating announcement of apparent suicide. As the body count rises, a chilling truth emerges: these overachievers have been under constant surveillance since birth, tracked by an online service known as “Greener Pastures.” Here, billionaires watch, analyze, and recruit the next generation of elite talent, preparing to auction off their futures to the highest bidder.

In this twisted world, the brightest minds are faced with an agonizing choice: pursue their dreams or accept a lucrative offer that trades away their freedom for a lifetime of servitude. What begins as an alluring opportunity soon reveals itself as a trap, ensnaring young minds in a web of exploitation and control.

As the remaining students grapple with their fates, they must navigate the fine line between ambition and conformity. In a chilling high school landscape only Chuck Palahniuk could conjure, the quest for success transforms into a struggle for autonomy. Shock Induction challenges readers to confront the dark underbelly of a society obsessed with achievement and the difficult choices we make when the future feels uncertain.

Prepare for a provocative and thought-provoking ride that blurs the lines between aspiration and desperation. 📚❤️
