Who Hunts the Whale Summary

Who Hunts the Whale: A satirical novel set in the exploitative world of big-budget game development by Laura Kate Dale

Supremacy Software is the world's largest video-game developer and publisher. If you've played games, you've played one of theirs at some point. They're the shining light, a dream job for many aspiring game developers.

Who Hunts the Whale tells the story of a newly hired PA taking a seat in the executive boardroom. An out-of-towner who risked it all to come to the big city and live her dream of working for a company she's idolised for years.

But she soon discovers the cynical side of things. Stolen ideas, long hours, managerial impropriety - will she risk her ideal career and take a stand for those who dare not speak, or keep quiet in the face of a powerful, litigious corporation?

Written by industry insider Laura Kate Dale and (small 'g') gamer Jane Aerith Magnet, Who Hunts the Whale takes a witty, satirical look at the human cost of a rapacious market that must constantly be fed new content.

About Laura Kate Dale

Laura Kate Dale has spent the last decade as a full-time writer across a number of different creative industries. She has worked as a video-game critic, an accessibility and representation advocate, an LGBT activist and a professional fictional butt reviewer. When she's not writing satirical fiction with her wife Jane, she splits her time between podcasting, playing board games and collecting far too many Shiny variant Pokemon. @LaurakBuzz

Jane Aerith Magnet is a former stand-up comedian who now writes board-game reviews as a means to justify an obscene and growing collection. She has been a cleaner, an accountant, a fast-food worker, a sex worker, an in-patient and a highly depressed retail store manager, and was mistaken for a boy for the first 30 years of her life. She co-hosts the podcast Queer & Pleasant Strangers with her wife Laura and produces music under the name Bedroom Programmer. @ManiacJaneiac / @StonedMonkeyRadio
