The Man Who Wouldn't Die by A B Jewell

'FOREVER MAN is Dashiell Hammett 2.0' (Brad Parks): A hilarious and biting neo-noir send-up of Silicon Valley, written pseudonymously by New York Times tech reporter Matt Richtel--

“The Man Who Wouldn’t Die does for Silicon Valley what Carl Hiaasen did for Florida, which is rollicking fun if you’d like your future to be a dystopia of terabytesI’ll be first in line, or online, or retina scan, to get A.B. Jewell’s next installment.” — Tim Dorsey, New York Times Bestselling Author “If Philip Marlowe was a standup comic he might sound something like Fitch, the wisecracking, tech-savvy PI in this funny and twisted rejiggering of the classic detective novel. Think Silicon Valley meets The Big Sleep.” — Mark Haskell Smith, author of Blown “A rambunctious Valley takedown comedy-thriller that lampoons the self-serious preening of the digerati.” — San Francisco Chronicle “May well set [A.B. Jewell] up as the Carl Hiaasen of Silicon Valley.” — Sam Sifton, New York Times “Forever Man is Dashiell Hammett 2.0, Raymond Chandler with emojis, James M. Cain after a trip to the Apple Store: The classic hardboiled detective novel, updated for 21st Century Silicon Valley and made hilarious. Even if you’ve read every P.I. novel out there, you’ve never read one like this before.” — Brad Parks, Shamus Award-winning author of Closer Than You Know “A hard-boiled, hilarious detective novel about Silicon Valley.” — New York Post “Stuffed with so much invention. … A Hiaasen-esque farce.” — Kirkus Reviews “Silicon Valley’s next great detective novel (maybe its only one!), The Man Who Wouldn’t Die is hilarious. Get this great read, a perfecto takedown of our self-absorbed land, which is also a perfect summer read.” — Kara Swisher “The pseudonymous Jewell takes an amusing swipe at the hardboiled detective novel and the world of high tech in his fun debut…. Sharp, satirical observations on tech-dependent society and eccentrically comic characters keep the action moving. Jewell is off to a promising start.” — Publishers Weekly

A. B. Jewell is the pseudonym for a Pulitzer Prize–winning technology reporter. He lives in San Francisco.
