About The Global War On Morris
Meet Morris Feldstein, a pharmaceutical salesman living and working in western Long Island who loves the Mets, loves his wife Rona, and loves things just the way they are. He doesn't enjoy the news; he doesn't like to argue. Rona may want to change the world; Morris wants the world to leave him alone. Morris does not make waves.
But one day Morris is seduced by a lonely, lovesick receptionist at one of the doctors' offices along his sales route, and in a moment of weakness charges a non-business expense to his company credit card. No big deal, you might think. Easy mistake. But the government's top-secret surveillance program, anchored by a giant, complex supercomputer known as Nick, thinks differently. Eventually Nick begins to thread together the largely disparate and tenuously connected strands of Morris’s life his friends, family, friends' friends, his traffic violations, his daughter's political leanings, his wife's new patients, and even his failed romantic endeavors and Morris becomes the US government's new public enemy number one.
A hilarious, debut novel from a charismatic author, The Global War On Morris toes the line between recent breaking headlines and a future that is not that difficult to imagine.
