Dave Eggers
In a rising Saudi Arabian city, far from weary, recession-scarred America, a struggling businessman pursues a last-ditch attempt to stave off foreclosure, pay his daughter’s college tuition, and finally do something great. In A Hologram for the King, Dave Eggers takes us around the world to show how one man fights to hold himself and his splintering family together in the face of the global economy’s gale-force winds.
This taut, richly layered, and elegiac novel is a powerful evocation of our contemporary moment - and a moving story of how we got here.

I like Tom Hanks, and the story looked interesting at a glance.
Overall, the story is somewhat engaging. I spent a few chapters imagining what life in the middle east might be like and reflecting on what my life my be like when I'm an older man - like the main character of the book.
But I gave up by the middle of the (audio)book. The story plays out too slowly, is too depressing, and too sexually explicit.
It's not at all my cup of tea.
Overall, a disappointment

What are we achieving?
Is it all for naught?
Likely.
Relationships matter. Little else does.
Everything else is just a hologram. Here one minute, so real as if you can reach out and touch it. Just another of life's near misses the next minute.
Love Eggars. Not my favorite of his works though.
I think I get it, just wasn't that into it.
Grippingly mundane.
Quite a bizarre tale of monotonous triviality.
