Set in a near-future New York City, where the ubiquity of automation has caused mass unemployment and a major market crash, Sensation Machines is by turns a portrait of a marriage in decline, a murder mystery, and a panoramic vision of a post-Trump economic dystopia. Michael and Wendy Mixner are a Jewish Brooklyn-based couple whose marriage is failing in the wake of their daughter's stillbirth. Michael, a Wall Street trader, has secretly lost the couple's life savings. Wendy, a digital marketing strategist, has been hired onto a Cambridge Analytica--style data mining project, whose mysterious owner has ambitions to reshape America's social and political landscapes. When Michael's best friend is murdered, the evidence leads back to Wendy's client, setting off a dangerous chain of events that will profoundly change the couple--and the country. Sensation Machines inhabits the perspectives of the Wall Street bros, the marketing mad men, the Silicon Valley sociopaths--and uncomfortably humanizes them, while considering the ways everyone is complicit in the consequences of late capitalism. Sensation Machines is a novel of big ideas, intricate plotting, and keenly observed human drama.
