As part of our Sol Oculto series, we’re publishing another translation of the Argentinian maestro Andrés Vaccari. This time it’s Suicided (Suicidados), appearing in English for the first time, translated by the author himself.

Swerving between New Weird and horror, Suicided tells the story of an experimental business management model that forces office workers to survive in a ruthless, chaotic and absurd world. Suicided is an hallucinatory, dystopian and urgent view of the contemporary labour market, and a companion to his novella  Hypercapitalism, Vaccari’s brutal near-future vision of AI, slaved office work and techno-oligarchs.
