Distinguished Favorite - 2025 NYC Big Book Award Set in current day New York city, a new business opens: 'God, Incorporated', claiming to sell the 'absolute truth' for a price. Over the first seven days of the business, the manager has to deal with the consequences of the revealed truths, both personally and professionally. As do those the business has an impact upon. It benefits many, but also attracts those with concerns. The novel explores the ongoing ripples through a mix of narrative, conversations and multimedia. As the novel unfolds, the manager begins to change and form meaningful connections with his customers. He starts as an unassuming filing clerk, with very defined rules of business behavior, but learning the 'absolute truth' some customers desire has an impact on who he is, and what he values. This is a mystery drama set over a single week, with a light smattering of comedy, much social commentary, and an assortment of philosophical & moral musings. It is not a book about religion, nor business, but they are both discussed. Enjoy! Back Cover copy: The advertisements in the Sunday newspapers throughout New York were all full page, and most of the page itself was blank. For a new business it was a strange strategy, but then it was a strange business, with a strange name: God, Incorporated In a single sentence, one of only two in the entire ad, it described the service it provided: Absolute truth guaranteed, for anything you need to know The ad also gave the hours and location, but surprisingly, no other way to contact them. For anyone who wanted to find out more, they would have to show up in person. On the first Monday, a few people did just that. The desperate and the ambitious. But the more they learned, the less they realised they knew. Over the first seven days the benefits would ripple outwards. People were helped and lives were improved. But there were those who would see the business as something else. Something more sinister. Something not even God would want to put their name to, nor have anything to do with. God, Incorporated What truth would you pay to know?
