Description
Game Control by Lionel Shriver is a grimly comic tale of bad ideas and good intentions. With a deft touch, Shriver highlights the hypocrisy of lofty intellectuals who claim to "save" humanity but struggle with people themselves. Eleanor Merritt, an American family-planning worker, travels to Africa in search of a better life for the poor. There, she finds herself drawn to Calvin Piper, whose misanthropic theories about population control and human responsibility intrigue her. As their relationship deepens, Eleanor must confront the darker aspects of Calvin's ideology. Set against the vibrant backdrop of modern-day Africa, Game Control is a wry and sardonic conspiracy story that explores the complexities of good intentions and bad ideas.
