Opis

What if everyone became the same?... In LIKENESS, early millennium Seattle-based workers Charlie and Emmaline are thrust from their comfortable and quirky marketing department to the Worldwide Pharmaceutical Conference stage. They present their ad for a new drug, Assimilaire, that minimizes social anxiety by making one feel the same as those around them. In a strange twist, a free sample causes the audience members to not only feel like, but to become like athletic geek Charlie and adventurous artist Emmaline. Forced to stay at the conference by a bomb scare, the affected hotel guests are caught in an impromptu madcap experiment exposing the nature of similarity and difference. This snappy contemporary novel provides much to think about and plenty of humor as it considers the value of who we are. The Buzz from readers: "energetic, fun language made for a quick, happy read. BONUS: i quite liked the concept." "Emmaline is a strong business woman with fears I could totally relate to. I fell in love with her " "Give me a good-sized dose of Charlie Line up the pseudo-Charlies - but none is as charming as the original. Lucky Emmaline " "A great fiction read for the more philosophical or psychological leaning reader." "Never before has the impending apocalyptic dystopia been such an amusing romp."
