GET RICH, CRY TRYING

About the book

A broke livestreamer discovers that viewers will pay him to cross almost any boundary. At first, humiliation is just content and attention feels like opportunity. Every donation makes the next compromise a little easier. But as the money grows, so does the audience's sense of ownership. His private life becomes entertainment, his relationships become material, and the line between the person and the performer begins to disappear. Then one devoted viewer decides watching isn't enough. GET RICH, CRY TRYING is a dark psychological and social thriller about parasocial obsession, internet fame, ambition, and what happens when an audience stops seeing the person behind the screen.
