Going Golden, a Cult Novel
“Hilarious and wildly inventive, Going Golden is a richly compelling modern comedy, liberally spiced with social comment.” - Daniel Stashower, New York Times bestselling author
When marketer Aaron Ledder agreed to create a “cult following” for unpopular energy drink BRING, he didn’t go halfway.
Three months and one epic hoax later, hundreds of influential people gather weekly in an L.A. bookstore to imbide the now trendy drink while receiving spiritual guidance from Manifest 1 – a wise time traveler who “materialized” in the store to teach humanity how to create a perfect future.
Unfortunately, a dark faction is about to hijack the made-up movement, bend trusting followers to a sinister end – and force Aaron to confront what he unleashed.
Good intentions and bad judgment collide in a Confederacy of Dunces-style satire of cults, start-ups, sci-fi, and the insatiable human drive to make meaning.
