Welcome to the future of bureaucracy, an insane world of technology and administration. Across 8 blackly comic stories, The Bearer of Grievances peels back the layers of Shāshǔyào Pharmaceuticals and what they have done to the human race. Where there’s a form to fill for everything, where sleeping until you hit management is the career choice, where genetically engineered super-bureaucrats run the world from their secret mountain. In The Bearer of Grievances McKinley probes the warped ramblings of faceless netizens and with a caustic wit imagines: What if the trolls ran the world? For fans of Douglas Adams, Terry Gilliam and William S. Burroughs.
