Description
My Bags Are Big, a darkly comic satire of wealth, reinvention, and regret - set against the surreal backdrop of Dubai.
'Is it merely a long con? Is Bitcoin just a mighty payday, or have I gatecrashed one of the great moments of history? Up there with the enslavement of fire, the invention of writing, the power of flight. A moment everyone will be pointing to for thousands of years, as long as there are people to point. And Dan was there. Bitcoin rulz okay?'
With Fischer's trademark wit, philosophical flair, and scathing insight into the absurdities of modern life, My Bags Are Big is a brilliant satire of masculinity, memory, and the costs of pretending you've moved on.
