Benjamin Kessler's page-turning, dystopian-skyscraper novella is both appropriately psychedelic and surprisingly emotionally vulnerable. The imagery and unique dreamstate of The Pinnacle will linger with you long after you finish. - Joshua James Amberson, author of Staring Contest and How to Forget Almost Everything Benjamin Kessler's The Pinnacle is the most unsettling type of dystopia: one that is just a few degrees off from our present reality. This slim novella captures the dehumanization of American workers in late-stage capitalism in a way that is not only smart and entertaining, but gorgeously written and laugh-out-loud funny. - Gabriel Urza, author of The White Death: An Illusion and All That Followed Like the building at the center of this destabilizing and wonderfully odd tale, The Pinnacle is massive in scope and yet strangely tidy in its construction. In less confident hands this book might have turned into a five-hundred page doorstop. Bravo to Benjamin Kessler for bringing to life one of the most beguiling narrators I've encountered recently. Lyrical, curious, self-sabotaging -it's his harrowing display of humanity that sets The Pinnacle in a class of its own. - Michael Heald, author of Goodbye to the Nervous Apprehension
