Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever? [B2068]

2015 PB in nice clean condition. The bestselling author of The Circle delivers a tour de force of one man struggling to make sense of his country, seeking solutions the only way he knows how. What do you do when you're full of questions: what happened to missions to the moon? Why spend a trillion dollars on war? Where did America go wrong? If you're Thomas, a young man nursing migraines and a lack of direction, this calls for drastic action. To find some answers, Thomas kidnaps a NASA astronaut and brings him to an abandoned military base on the edge of the California coast. Then the questioning begins. The answers must be honest. The back and forth might even hurt. It might get uncomfortable. But eventually the truth will emerge. A "story about someone who takes revenge against the world because he can't fathom how he fits into it.... This is a one-sitting read" (USA Today).

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Surprisingly topical for an older book."; "I liked this book a lot. The choice to write it all as dialogue is an interesting one, and Eggers has written the voices in such a way that makes it clear who's speaking and what's happening. It was very well written and held my attention for its entirety."; "I freaking love it!"; "Firstly, cool experiment - only dialogue to move the story. I imagined this like a stage play, with almost no settings needed. Secondly, the pace! It wore me out! But I couldn't put it down. I HAD TO KNOW what would happen next! Never read anything like it"
