Synopsis

The Pinnacle is a slim but telling volume. An unnamed narrator who works in the tallest building in the world, the eponymous Pinnacle, finds himself delving deeper into the building's nexus and reckoning with his own in the process. A damning but highly entertaining tale of extreme capitalism, The Pinnacle presents a version of a future we're easily hurtling towards-a future in which self-surveillance and superstructures flourish: the Hawaiian islands are linked by record-breaking bridges, healthcare is discounted for using your employer's branded social media app, and The Pinnacle towers at 324 floors and counting. Proprietary technology in the form of a massive rod rammed into the planet's core allows The Pinnacle to keep growing indefinitely, and along with it, the secrecy that surrounds its Manhattan address. Equal parts prophetic and psychedelic, funny and foreboding, this story about labor and how our jobs define us (or don't) ultimately becomes one about honesty, family, and self-actualization.
