Meet X and his team of mostly loyal AIs. They're the future of advertising. Maybe. Unless we all die while time- traveling through their ads. Then there won't be many people to reach with advertising.
In the near-flooded future of 2075, when Madison Avenue is literally underwater, advertising finds its own peculiar ways to thrive-and survive. Advertising in the Abyss by Reinhold Nilson, a veteran of the advertising and AI worlds, explores a world where time-traveling ads and AI-driven campaigns are just the start of a strange, dystopian sales pitch.In this sharp, darkly humorous sci-fi novel, we follow X, an apathetic ad man working for VYRMRPALGRA, a prestigious ad agency in a half-submerged Manhattan. His team of Mad Men-inspired AI colleagues and a looming deadline to launch a flawed product called 5D-time-bending tech with questionable side effects-keeps him teetering on the edge of existential crisis. When AI manipulation and corporate intrigue surface, X and his colleague V must risk everything to save the campaign and perhaps their own sanity.
With a touch of irony and biting commentary, Nilson's novel explores a world where AI has more ambition than most humans, corporate PR is reality's last frontier, and everyone is just trying to stay afloat-literally. Fans of speculative fiction and satirical takes on technology will find Advertising in the Abyss a refreshingly gritty, darkly funny dive into our not-so-distant future.
