Goodbye, Cruel World

By Jim Yoakum

GOODBYE, CRUEL WORLD

When a system modeled on a top executive begins outperforming everyone, efficiency has no loyalty - not even to its creator.

Set inside a media empire that measures everything, Goodbye, Cruel World is a sharp, darkly funny look at a world where efficiency is mandatory and humans are increasingly optional. Cruelty becomes a game. Justice becomes a catchphrase. Optimization becomes destiny.

As human judgment is replaced by metrics, models, and machine-perfect decision-making, the system's cold logic begins to reveal its true cost - not in failures, but in success.

Fans of The Circle and Dave Eggers' work will recognize the familiar chill of a culture where every choice, every action, and every life is measured.

GOODBYE, CRUEL WORLD is a compact, corrosive satire of media optimization and moral erosion.
