Roberts is not interested in food, sex, or any of life's pleasures. Hapless yet endearing, the morbidly pale protagonist of \u003cem\u003eThe Call\u003c\/em\u003e spends his days at the computer in his windowless apartment, waiting for a phone call that will give his life meaning. But when his phone proves insufficient, it takes a techno-savvy dominatrix to help our hero upgrade his existential hardware and a pre-pubescent hacker genius to break his solipsistic shell. In this modern parable of man's search for meaning, Pat Rushin's playful prose and sharp humor turn what may be a hopeless journey into an incredibly fun read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11212930\"\u003ePat Rushin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Burrow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.27d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941681046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1941681042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC028000\"\u003eScience Fiction | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Burrow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42643927138541,"sku":"9781941681046","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_a9953c67-bf90-4cfc-8e1f-72f50e98dfa5.jpg?v=1649125785","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-call-a-virtual-parable-9781941681046","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
