A razor-smart sci-fi corporate noir nightmare. Dare to Know is what
happens when Willy Loman sees through the Matrix. A heartbreaking,
time-bending, galactic mindbender delivered in the mordantly funny
clip of a doomed antihero. Daniel Kraus, co-author of The Shape of
Water. Dark Matter meets Annihilation in this mind-bending and
emotional speculative thriller set in a world where the exact
moment of your death can be predicted for a price. Our narrator is
the most talented salesperson at Dare to Know, an enigmatic company
that has developed the technology to predict anyone s death down to
the second. Divorced, estranged from his sons, and broke, he's
driven to violate the cardinal rule of the business by forecasting
his own death day. The problem: his prediction says he died
twenty-three minutes ago. The only person who can confirm its
accuracy is Julia, the woman he loved and lost during his rise up
the ranks of Dare to Know. As he travels across the country to see
her, he s forced to confront his past, the choices he's made, and
the terrifying truth about the company he works for. Wildly
ambitious and highly immersive, this mind-bending thriller explores
the destructive power of knowledge and collapses the boundaries
between reality, myth, and conspiracy as it races toward its
shocking conclusion.
