Book Description

Not everything they say about Tommy Knox is true. After losing his reality show "Gender Wars" in a scandal, Tommy now lives in the ever-expanding afterlife of social media ignominy as collateral damage from the rising tide of Cancel Culture. Not one to let a public disemboweling of his character get him down, He's back from producer's jail to pitch a new show that will change the way people think of reality television forever. Religion. A brand-spankin'-new religion. After conning, extorting, and playing every angle to get a development deal, Tommy sets out to invent a religious reality show that will kick America in its commodified spiritualist ass. He discovers Nava, a sincere and unassuming, young hipster from Silverlake, and turns him into an online guru. Almost overnight Nava's teachings go viral. Hustling like a maniac, Tommy accidentally ignites a radical religious movement that spreads across the entire world like wildfire. To make things worse, Nava buys into his own hype and begins performing miracles. Tommy finds himself swept up in a volatile culture war between Nava's fanatic followers and the finance and media elites who are fighting to control the public narrative -- the two sides divided by a narrow line called "THE PROPHET MARGIN." In the vein of Network, Wag the Dog, Being There, and The Truman Show--THE PROPHET MARGIN is a comedy that explores the caustic relationship between religion, entertainment, and politics.
