Pick, Pack, or Die
Step into the infinite world of Zing Warehouse as employees try to survive a delivery drone uprising. Half a decade ago, I asked a handful of MeFis if they’d be interested in being a beta reader for a novel inspired by Carl Hiaasen. Thanks to their feedback and the help of many others, I’m happy to announce that my comedy thriller Pick, Pack, or Die is ready for delivery!

The substantial robotic workforce at Zing Warehouse ships everyzing: cat litter, exit signs, and carbonated bidets.

When an unexpected delivery sparks a media firestorm, Carmen Fitznagle, one of the few remaining humans, finds herself at the forefront of a revolution in automation, same-hour delivery, and artificial intelligence.

I hate to see such big news with so little response! Fewer people on Metafilter these days, and fewer still visit all the satellite pages.

I have ordered a copy!
Congratulations on finishing this book, and that you have finished more than one book. Dang, that is great.

I loved every minute of working on this very funny, very clever novel. Thank you, systematize, for trusting me to handle your labor of love with care. You deserve to feel proud of this incredible accomplishment.

Fizz was leafing through my paperback copy the other day and was so impressed by the first few pages, he's moving it to the top of his "To Read" list. I hope others will do the same!

This looks like fun - by any chance do you happen to have it available as an epub? (I don't really like supporting the locked-in Kindle system)
