How I Got By
A childhood trauma leaves N. emotionally stalled but yearning for connection. When she meets a seductive but damaged young attorney, she falls hard, overlooking his technology vendetta, fear of intimacy, and dark past. But their affair ends abruptly, sending N. on a quest to reinvent herself. She ascends the ranks of Washington DC's influence sector, becoming a prominent lobbyist for the biomedicaltechnology industry; she then parlays her "special skill set" into a post at the top of the Bureau of Biomedicaltechnology, where the mysterious technology of an eccentric and dashing tech guru is stuck in the Bureau's labyrinthine approval process.
The technology is known as the Ə.
What is the Ə?
Why is a crusading U.S. senator and presidential candidate seeking to thwart its release?
Will N's romantic past foil her quest to unleash the Ə into the eager hands of the consuming public?
Answers to these questions and more reveal themselves in a battle between the regulatory state and big tech that settles an old romantic score and clears the way for the Ə to change the world forever.
How the Ə Got Producted is a satirical fever dream, a citizen-consumer's trippy meditation on gadgetry and the self, and a sly feminist wink at the Kafkaesque for the postmodern technocracy, all wound around the axle of a love story that isn't.
