What should an aspiring writer do if his fictional hero, from an unwritten novel, suddenly becomes very real, gets the name Michael Webb, begins to live an independent life, acquires friends and necessary connections, and is even going to get married? Perhaps read his newfangled treatise “The Importance of Being Second-Class”? Or should I contact the Bureau of Intoxication that he heads? Philosopher, thinker and decontamination specialist Michael Webb finds a way out of this sticky situation. In exchange for his freedom, he promises to supply the author with material for a future novel, infiltrating the villa of one of America's largest billionaires.
