One of The New Yorker's "Books We Loved in 2017," a BOMB Magazine "Looking Back on 2017: Literature" Selection, and one of Vulture's 10 Best Thriller Books of 2017.

From Katherine Faw--the author of the critically-acclaimed Young God, longlisted for the Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize--comes Ultraluminous, a provocative and scintillating novel of one woman's journey through a life of money, sex, and power.

Girlfriend. Prostitute. Addict. Terrorist? Who is K?

A high-end, girlfriend-experience prostitute called K has just returned to her native New York City, after more than a decade abroad in Dubai with a man she recalls as the Sheikh. She sets up a rotation of clients--all of them in finance, each with different delusions of how he is important to her--and makes time for a former Army Ranger who served in Afghanistan, whom she doesn't charge.

Her days are strangely orderly: a repetition of dinners, personal grooming, museum exhibitions, sex, Duane Reades (she likes the sushi), cosmology, sex, gallery shows, nightclubs, heroin, sex, and art films. She finds the pattern substantiating, but does she really believe it's sustainable? Or do the barely discernible rifts suggest a pattern within the pattern, a larger scheme she's not showing us, a truth that won't be revealed until we can see everything?

Just linear
Format: Paperback
I appreciate that it helps to organize the chaos of information, but I just used the template verbatim with my manager and it did not go very well. He said this linear approach does not work anymore with high-level corporate audiences. They want to cut right to the chase and start to dig into the deep details. This layout with simple images, even if you just pull away the map and anchor slides, makes the storytelling too much like a story, not giving enough credit to the speed at which certain audiences can and do process data on a slide. It was an interesting exercise and I still think this linear layout works in some cases. Just not if you are trying to communicate business case or other C-suite type of information.

Good and thorough!
Format: Paperback
I was amazed to see a thick book arriving in the package and spent quite some time reading this. The book is so hands-on. I build agentic systems at work and going through these concepts felt good. My only complaint is that the code snippets are not up to date for which I had to edit my code several times.
