Super sad true love story

Sobre el libro Super sad true love story de Gary Shteyngart publicado por Granta en 2012:

In a very near future a functionally illiterate America is about to collapse. But don´t tell that to poor Lenny Abramov, proud author of what may well be the world´s last diary. Despite his job at an outfit called ´Post-Human Services´, which attempts to provide immortality for its super-rich clientele, death is clearly stalking this cholesterol-rich morsel of a man. And why shouldn´t it? Lenny´s from a different century. He TOTALLY loves books (or ´printed, bound media artifacts´ as they´re now known), even though most of his peers find them smelly and annoying. But even more than books, Lenny loves Eunice Park, an impossibly cute and impossibly cruel 24-year-old Korean-American woman who just graduated from Elderbird College with a major in ´Images´ and a minor in ´Assertiveness´. When riots break out in New York´s Central Park, the city´s streets are lined with National Guard tanks, and patient Chinese creditors look ready to foreclose on the whole mess, Lenny vows to convince his fickle new love that in a time without standards or stability, there is still value in being a real human being.
