Cogh and the Machine

On an bright, idyllic college graduation day full of "green shoots and hope" a group of young friends part ways for what may be the last time, eager to begin the great adventure of adulthood. Their journey changes them all in ways they do not expect... Journey with Cogh, an idealistic and hopeful young man, from his start - sharing an apartment and waiting tables to get by as he tries to find his way in the world -- to the heights of success and power within the world's largest multinational corporation. Be with him as he finds himself both repelled by and attracted to what he discovers as he learns the dark secrets of The Machine. Watch as he sacrifices friends, falls victim to his own fears and weakness, loses his grip on both identity and -- perhaps -- even sanity as he barrels to the top and ultimately must decide whether he is fit to rule in this surrealistic world of big business. As one reader put it, "it's a dark and sobering version of 'Oh The Places You'll Go' that's unflinchingly honest and will stay with you long after you're done." A novel-in-verse, Cogh and The Machine is about how we got to where we are today, and where we just may be going tomorrow."
