Description: The Internet has draped itself, kudzu-like, over Anna's brain, which makes it even more difficult to confront the question of what to do when she is dismissed from her job as a cubicle serf at a midtown law firm. In the back alleys of Craigslist she connects with Taj, an adherent of a nebulous movement known as Nowism that occupies the most self-absorbed fringes of the art world, and is drawn into his grand experimental film project. When Anna's roommate announces her pregnancy, it forces Anna to confront reality, setting off a chain of events that lead to a horrifying betrayal.
