Kill the Rich

By: Jack Allison, Kate Shapiro

Narrated by: Jack Allison, Kate Shapiro

In this political satire-thriller, we follow a government official, an exiled influencer, and a burned-out delivery driver, living through a culture obsessed presidency that signs the policy to Kill the Rich.

The year is 2038, America’s new President won with a simple, snappy campaign slogan: Kill The Rich. Now in office, his administration kicks off with a televised public hanging of Kim Kardashian, whose lip kits have poisoned a working-class city.

The execution sets three very different people on a collision course that will change the nation forever. Jay, a senior adviser and best friend to the President, is hyper-focused on finding the next billionaire head to roll. Chloe, an influencer living in Russian exile, is willing to do anything to get her life of luxury back. Sasha, a burned-out pizza delivery driver, is desperate to find her missing brother.

Their stories converge in a cryptocurrency-fueled secessionist city in the Nevada desert where they must come together to thwart an insurrection by the internet-poisoned, meme-obsessed, richest man in the world.

In this audiobook edition, enjoy as both authors, Jack Allison and Kate Shapiro, narrate the satirical hit, Kill the Rich.

Critic reviews

“Kill the Rich is like a portrayal of what remains after the third horse of the apocalypse gets lost during a coke binge while documenting its journey through the desert wilderness for its Insta feed. The novel rides easily between farce and satire by savaging the absurdities of our moment, both culturally and politically, and takes us on a ride through the nightmare landscape we worry lurks around the corner. Only writers with comic vision and guts like Allison and Shapiro could get us to the end of this tale.” —Joe Milan Jr., author of The All-American

“Funny, sharp as hell." —Adam McKay, director of Don't Look Up and The Big Short

“Crafting great dystopian fiction is a task that seems nearly impossible in our dystopian, fake-seeming world, but Allison and Shapiro have managed to do just that. Gripping, hilarious, and brimming with humanity. The fact that it all feels so authentic, plausible, and downright subtle is the book’s most unsettling victory.” —Jason Woliner, director of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm and Paul T. Goldman

Intriguing Name--Bad Story

This book was boring repetitive and tedious just like the speeches rich people give. It’s like parody of Atlas Shrugged-it goes through all the excuses for inequality except for dumb luck.
