'Horacker' Summary
Cord Horacker, a 19-year-old from a humble background, finds himself entangled in a web of deception and intrigue in the seemingly idyllic rural setting of Horacker. His encounter with a charming but manipulative individual named "The Baron" leads him into a world of fabricated news, manipulated social dynamics, and the exploitation of the less fortunate. As Cord navigates this complex landscape, he faces challenges that expose the stark realities of poverty, class inequality, and the power of misinformation. The novel's humorous tone masks a sharp social commentary, highlighting the manipulation of information and its impact on individual lives and societal structures. Ultimately, "Horacker" is a story about the search for truth, the consequences of deceit, and the importance of individual agency in the face of social manipulation.Book Details
