Cultivated Meat American Sashimi

Shocking. Intense. Profound.

It's not rocket science, it's food science.

What counts as food and what happens when a global criminal enterprise combines two of humanity's most terrifying inventions-cannibalism and Multi Level Marketing?

After discovering that a technology designed to grow human muscle tissue causes people to hunger for the output, the Japanese Yakuza move in and decide to monetize it. Ruthlessly killing anyone standing in their way, they steal the tech, then suborn a publicly traded MLM corporation to promote human sashimi: thin sheets of edible raw Homo sapiens tissues. They buy, borrow, and steal the tissues necessary to grow branded products from a wide range of celebrities, the Trashkardians, Brad Seed, Anjou-leana Holee, Carry-Out, General Patent, Arnold Dweezeneggar, Seamstra Fast, Milehi Cypress, Polly Pardon, and even Sasquatch. If your an A-lister, you're on tonight's raw food menu! - and after a social media marketing blitz, human sashimi becomes wildly popular as a new foodie frontier. Foodgasm strikes!

Its purveyors are flying high until they catch the attention of a determined Elite Law Enforcement team with the power to prosecute food crimes. Led by Aidan, who's integrated at a cellular level with bloc, a graphene-based life form, and Tannin, a hyperactive Ashkenazi Jew with observational, deductive skills Sherlock Holmes would envy, the team won't stop until they capture or kill their targets.

As the two parties clash, something unexpected occurs: due to a manufacturing error, some of the consumers of the branded human sashimi undergo a horrific transformation. They become mindless, feral, ravaging connoisseurs whose greatest desire is to eat every scrap of their favorite celebrity. Some succeed.

Mix in a miracle material used in everything, immoral art collectors, a thug with a sentient symbiote, national purists, a cult of transhumanists, the Thuggee, and some jailhouse rock, and you have my near-future science fiction/horror food crime epic, Cultivated Meat American Sashimi, in all its gritty glory.

My book, is inspired by the FDA's recent approval to create meat in a lab takes the current societal trajectory to a phantasm of more-crushing realism.
