Inlander:
Wait, what? Johnny, I didn't even know you were writing one! God damn it man you're a musician, stick to one damn thing Can you tell us what it's about?
Yunior:

it's about basically a bunch of high schoolers who smoke pot and listen to heavy metal and go to shows and kind of care about one or two subjects at school but not really all of them and then it's also at the same time as it's about those things it's about the catastrophic influx of information in our lives on a daily basis in the early days here of the 21st century and of how the ways we get information and how we expect information to come in to us have dramatically altered the ways we engage with privacy and with identity and how basically we have to deal with everything we had to deal with before the internet and facebook and 9/11 but on top of it we have to deal with all of those things too and how in adolescence that can be a serious fucking nightmare and we don't really know how these people are going to turn out as adults affected by this. there's some obvious baudrillardian anxiety in there too. i haven't really worked the whole thing out yet. also there's a character who i'm going to strongly hint is psychic and the novel's going to end with a sequence of heavy metal magical realism
