Life for Nefarioun (a weary coder in a city that defies logic) is never truly peaceful. Between navigating a job where the boss hands out high-stakes social assignments to accrue "membership points" and coming home to a household consisting of a trigger-happy child soldier, Pico, and a reality-warping genie named Disco, she is always one minor inconvenience away from a total meltdown.

In this volume, a quiet evening meant for catching up on anime is derailed by a relentless parade of eccentric door-to-door solicitors. From "Everlasting Ice Cubes" to a pride of toothless vegan lions bred for maximum security, Nefarioun must use every ounce of her cynical wit to keep the lunatics at bay.
