Description
Red Pill by Hari Kunzru is a timely and thought-provoking novel about searching for order in a world that frames madness as truth. The narrator, a middle-aged writer, arrives at a prestigious writing fellowship in Berlin, but instead of working on the book he has proposed to write, he finds himself drawn to a violent cop show called Blue Lives, which presents a bleak, Darwinian view of life. The show’s creator, Anton, becomes a mentor to the narrator, and soon the narrator begins to believe that he is being “red-pilled” – turned toward an ugly, alt-rightish worldview. A timely novel on the state of contemporary landscape.
