These associates, referred to as The Suits, are a well-dressed group of people who seem to be the only form of order in a chaotic future of excess, but Zoey has to figure out if that is enough to trust them with her life. Whisked away to a city straight out of Blade Runner where nothing is illegal, especially for those with money, and the only people she can trust are the associates of her dead, estranged father. The novel tells the story of Zoey Ashe, a young woman from a Midwestern trailer park who finds herself at the center of a wild war between rich and powerful people. If that isn’t enough to get you interested in the novel, you might be on the wrong website. Instead, Wong chose to take readers to a near-future in which a young woman and her smelly cat are thrust into a deadly world of assassins, fortunes, and technology that gives people super powers. Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits is the first of Wong’s novels to steer away from the “Soy Sauce Series,” as some refer to it, that Wong crafted with his previous two novels. For the sake of the review, however, I will keep referring to him as David Wong. The novel is the third to be published under that pseudonym by the New York Times bestseller, and Executive Editor of, Jason Pargin. With that sentence, readers are instantly thrown into the amusing-yet-dangerous world of David Wong’s Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits.

At least not any that you'd want to follow.Will Zoey figure it all out in time? Or maybe the better question is, will you? After all, the future is coming sooner than you think.Note: This is a spoiler-free review of David Wong’s Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits “If Zoey Ashe had known she was being stalked by a man who intended to kill her and then slowly eat her bones, she would have worried more about that and less about getting her cat off the roof.” Her only trusted advisor is the aforementioned cat, but even in the future, cats cannot give advice. A world in which at least one cat smells like a seafood shop's dumpster on a hot summer day.This is the world in which Zoey Ashe finds herself, navigating a futuristic city in which one can find elements of the fantastic, nightmarish and ridiculous on any street corner. And her very smelly cat.Together, they will decide the future of mankind.Get ready for a world in which anyone can have the powers of a god or the fame of a pop star, in which human achievement soars to new heights while its depravity plunges to the blackest depths. Nightmarish villains with superhuman enhancements.An all-seeing social network that tracks your every move.Mysterious, smooth-talking power players who lurk behind the scenes.A young woman from the trailer park.
