As the Modernist dream of a world purged of archaic decor and ornamentation recedes we should remember that the diet of a raw, umediated universe has always unsettled Homo Sapiens. This books looks at some of these mediations: How do we transform the stuff of the world and impart it with familiarity? How do pets come to be invested with pleasing form? How did provocative woman? And why is oil paint the ultimate "plastic" material, capable of mimicking everything under the sun - and a few other things besides? Taking its inspiration from Gaston Bachelard's idea of a material imagination, this book looks beyond the labour that ensures physical survival to the elaboration of the world into forms that accommodate our collective desires.

Turk is a frustrated claims adjuster for a large insurance company and has developed a plan that will free him from his boring life and make him rich. If successful, his plan will liberate a vast majority of human beings from the drudgery and monotony of their jobs. Turk hopes to create the Primo-Primate Project and train chimpanzees to operate technology like cash registers or machines used in manufacturing. Consumers would be able to buy the chimps as surrogate workers, in turn freeing humanity from the mundane and dull. Due to his job, Turk has access to the personal information of policyholders. To finance his project, he develops a scheme to embezzle money from the company by creating a fictitious claimant who suffers an injury. Once he crosses the line into white-collar crime, Turk's life spirals out of control. He wanted excitement and more-and now, he's got it, as he faces either madness or revelation.
