Smoko

Both comic and absurd, Smoko is a social realist novel set in a postal depot in suburban New Zealand.

One day the post office will turn a buck by using drones to deliver fake Rolexes to citizen slackers on a universal income. But for now, the mail team continues busting arse delivering gym membership promotions to retirement villages.

Adopting an attitude of resignation offers comfort to some, but one worker, inspired by Ned Ludd, Marx, and the Unabomber, opts for sabotage.
