If we are always looking for hate, do we unintentionally create it?In a near future not so different from our own time, bands of citizen hate hunters roam the streets, capturing incidents of presumed hate on their cell phones. As a tolerance counselor, Alma spends her days reforming the offenders.She’s passionate about her job. And apart from a few minor disagreements with her employer, the Tolerance Department, she’s well respected.Until the day she wears the wrong dress to the wrong place …She’s not the only one struggling in this society. George’s peace project may have accidentally caused an international incident. Marine, the leader of the hate hunters, may have inadvertently ushered in an era of unprecedented hate. And Mohammad, a Bangladeshi immigrant who loves to sing America’s praises, may have unknowingly radicalized his daughter.This literary tour de force leaves no stone unturned and no sacred cow untipped as it questions what it really means to be part of a race, religion, gender, or any other so-called category of human being in America today, and whether hyper-focusing on these categories, no matter how well intentioned, can ever be free of disastrous consequences.“This is an exceptional book that enrages, enlightens, and above all, affirms the humanity of every individual regardless of their beliefs.”- Independent Review of Books(Originally published as “I Hate Hate!”)
