内容简介:
"The Adventures of Two Sociopaths" is a fictional account of the friendship that evolves between a sociology professor and one of her students. Set on Rutger's Cook College campus in New Jersey, the story follows Professor Lisa Larson and Brandee Surtain through an unlikely yet humorous romp inside the world of the rich and famous. Their adventures begin after Brandee completes an assignment for her sociology class, suggesting a hypothetical solution to the problems we face as a society today. After discovering they've both endured similar unhappy childhoods, Professor Larson agrees to Brandee's wild scheme to purchase a remote island and place society's most influential people there on a permanent basis. With the aid of a former drug smuggler named Hector and his cousin RamA3n, the two sociopaths kidnap and relocate people of prominence to an island in the South Pacific called Naraka. Their goal is to capture those who abuse their celebrity by using the media for personal gain. They decide to start with members of the entertainment industry whose powers of persuasion affect society as a whole. Can the two of them change the way America thinks, simply by eliminating the influx of outside influences? Is America's youth lowering their standards at a faster pace than ever? Are we doomed as a nation to emulate and worship adolescent pop singers and high-priced athletes? Lisa and Brandee form a partnership to slow down the deterioration of our society's infrastructure. Along the way, they learn a lot about themselves and the ironies that brought them together.
