In 2043, Pamela just wants to stop feeling like shit.
Enter U++, a new black-market gene therapy, that fills her with promises of a genetically enhanced 'best self.' The horrifying discovery? Pam's biology has very different ideas about what constitutes self improvement...
As the grotesque transformation accelerates, her desperate husband Mark sees opportunity: why not document his wife's metamorphosis as an unscripted show? With their finances crashing, a new baby to support, and the future-Texas heat literally killing people, exploiting Pam's condition (through the art of reality TV) might be their only path to survival.
A savage satire of late-stage capitalism, reality television, and our obsession with self-improvement, A Modern Growth asks: when everything is content, what's left of being human?
This surreal tale of transmutation branches into territory both tender and terrifying, and will resonate with fans of Jeff VanderMeer and Ottessa Moshfegh while carving its own unique path through the landscape of contemporary horror.
