520    "A year into her dream job at a cutthroat Silicon Valley 
       startup, Cassie finds herself trapped in a corporate 
       nightmare. Between the long hours, toxic bosses, and 
       unethical projects, she also struggles to reconcile the 
       glittering promise of a city where obscene wealth lives 
       alongside abject poverty. Ivy League grads complain about 
       the snack selection from a conference room with a view of 
       houseless people bathing in the bay. Startup burnouts leap
       into the paths of commuter trains and men literally set 
       themselves on fire in the streets. Though isolated, Cassie
       is never alone. From her earliest memory, a miniature 
       black hole has been her constant companion. It feeds on 
       her depression and anxiety, its size changing in relation 
       to her distress. The black hole watches, but it also 
       waits. Its relentless pull draws Cassie ever-closer as the
       world around her unravels. When her CEO's demands cross an
       illegal threshold and she ends up unexpectedly pregnant, 
       Cassie must decide whether the tempting fruits of Silicon 
       Valley are really worth it. Sharp but vulnerable, funny 
       yet unsettling, Ripe portrays one millennial woman's 
       journey through our late-capitalist hellscape and offers a
       brilliantly incisive look at the absurdities of modern 
       life"--|cProvided by publisher.
