Description
Behind every anonymous online troll lies a real person. In Mark Sarvas’ searing new novel, that person is UGMan—a man whose digital rage masks profound sensitivity and growing alienation from a broken world. The story is a raw and unfiltered look at the human condition, exploring themes of isolation, anger, and the search for meaning in a social media-obsessed, seemingly indifferent world. UGMan's interactions with various characters, including his estranged family, neighbors, and online acquaintances, reveal the depth of his emotional turmoil. Readers will be drawn in by UGMan's unsettling monologue, which skillfully weaves together references to history, pop culture, poetry, Dostoevsky, and UGMan's lifelong obsession with the Beatles.
Mark Sarvas, acclaimed author of HARRY, REVISED and MEMENTO PARK, delivers an urgent narrative that puts a necessary spotlight on the psychological damage of social media. @UGMAN is a tour de force exploration of obsession, disillusionment, and the dark humor that accompanies them. Prepare to be riveted, shocked, and ultimately moved by this unforgettable tale of a man lost—perhaps forever—in the digital age.

Advance Praise
The real power of @UGMAN is Sarvas’s language and his ear for the brutalist logic that governs a life lived on the Socials.
