The writer of the feature film, Love in the Time of Money, presents a detailed exploration of the insular parts of the contemporary advertising industry in a darkly comic tale that reflects the Brooklyn-based culture of hipster consumerism, obsessive branding and corporate advertising run amok.

Review of 'The deep whatsis' on 'Goodreads'

Aspirations of being a Douglas Coupland novel, but it never really gets there. I can't see myself reading this again in the future, which is quite telling for a book hoarder. Additionally, I feel like the author is probably laughing at the fact that he puts one over on the reader with the title, but the joke is pretty juvenile and not at all clever.
