About This Book

"A voraciously readable page-turner of a novel."—Cory Doctorow

"A razor-smart sci-fi corporate noir nightmare. Dare to Know is what happens when Willy Loman sees through the Matrix."—Daniel Kraus, co-author of The Shape of Water

This mind-bending and emotional speculative thriller is set in a world where the exact moment of your death can be predicted—for a price.

 
Our narrator is the most talented salesperson at Dare to Know, an enigmatic company that has developed the technology to predict anyone's death down to the second. Divorced, estranged from his sons, and broke, he's driven to violate the cardinal rule of the business by forecasting his own death day. The problem: his prediction says he died twenty-three minutes ago. 
 
The only person who can confirm its accuracy is Julia, the woman he loved and lost during his rise up the ranks of Dare to Know. As he travels across the country to see her, he's forced to confront his past, the choices he's made, and the terrifying truth about the company he works for. 
 
Wildly ambitious and highly immersive, this thought-provoking thriller explores the destructive power of knowledge and collapses the boundaries between reality, myth, and conspiracy as it races toward its shocking conclusion.

"A voraciously readable page-turner of a novel, part creepypasta, part thought-experiment."—Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother and Radicalized
