InFame

How much of yourself are you willing to lose to make sure the world is watching? InFame is a genre-defying anthology of modern fiction that explores the dark underbelly of celebrity culture in the digital age. Featuring 21 original stories from an international roster of celebrated and emerging writers, this collection dissects the desperate lengths people will go to for fame and the terrifying price they inevitably end up paying. From a washed-up child star whose AI-powered app begins to replace her consciousness with a more "optimized" version, to a struggling actor who blackmails the rich and powerful to secure his big break; from a barista named Elvis Presley who becomes the sole survivor of a plane crash, to a teenage girl who literally sells her memories to strangers for wealth, these stories confront the uncomfortable idea that in the age of social media, the star is not the product. Your attention is. When fame means surrendering the very thing that makes you human, what's left when the applause finally fades? InFame features the works of Adele Liles, Alvin E. Lauran, Bruce McDougall, Charlotte Poitras, Christopher Moore, Clian June Sarino, Daniel DiQuinzio, Ismim Putera, Jill Potter, Khen P. Julia, Linda M. Crate, Patrick Carella, Piper Robbins, Ricardo D. Rebelo, Robb White, Simon Mohsin, Stanley Péan, Stephen McQuiggan AND Val Roberts
