Description
Bobby Ingersoll's life is about to take a dramatic turn. Two weeks before his 21st birthday, he inherits a crushing gambling debt from his father, which comes due on the day he turns twenty-one. With no clear way out, Bobby must navigate the seedy underworld of Las Vegas to pay off the debt and change his family's fortune. In a bold move, Bobby decides to give up control over his life choices, instead relying on chance to guide him. He adopts a philosophy called Random, where every decision - from what to eat to whom to marry - is based entirely on the roll of two numbered dice. This unorthodox approach leads to a thrilling exploration into the nature of identity and free will. Penn Jillette's novel combines intellectual curiosity with humor and grit, creating a unique reading experience that blends the wit of Elmore Leonard with the scientific skepticism of Richard Dawkins.
