In the near future, fame isn't earned-it's manufactured. Rob is a desperate dreamer, ready to risk it all for a shot at stardom. When Jarod, a shadowy figure, offers him the chance to transform his life through a secret gene therapy treatment, the promise of instant celebrity is impossible to resist. But the cost of manufactured fame is far higher-and darker-than he ever anticipated. As Rob's body begins to change, the terrifying side effects of his reckless decision spiral out of control-unleashing global consequences no one could have predicted. A chilling fusion of near-future science fiction and horror, I Manufacture Fame is a cautionary tale about the extremes we'll go to for fame and fortune-and the nightmare that follows when we finally achieve it. A perfect novella for fans of dystopian stories, bioengineering sci-fi, and Black Mirror.
