# Event Details - **Event Name**: SARAH G. PIERCE: FOR HUMAN USE at Books Inc. in the Marina - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 30 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 30 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: Join debut author Sarah G. Pierce at Books Inc. in the Marina to celebrate her new novel For Human Use, a twisted romantic comedy!About this EventAbout the book: Finding a human connection online has become impossible. Enter Liv: a dating app that matches people with dead bodies. Somehow, it has taken the world by storm. Millions of users are convinced that life with a corpse presents a better alternative to conventional relationships.Flailing against Liv’s popularity, venture capital superstar Tom Williamson—whose company is funding Liv—isn’t buying it. Mostly because dating an embalmed cadaver, let alone monetizing it, is obscene.Believing that Liv is the future, Auden White, the insufferable “visionary” behind the app begins demanding more and more funding, quickly making enemies with Tom.It's no secret that Tom struggles with people, dead or alive, but when he has a chance meeting with the woman who knows Auden (and his secrets) best, Mara Reed, he realizes everything is about to change for all three of them.With Liv’s userbase growing by the day, the need for cadavers rapidly increases. Humanity might not want to connect with other living, breathing people anymore, but they do want to connect with something. What could go wrong?★ “A wildly entertaining debut. Sarah G. Pierce cleverly skewers our modern era of disconnection and corporate overreach. But amid the horror and humor there is a deeply human love story at the heart of this book.” ―E.K Sathue, author of Youthjuice★ "A razor-sharp satire of venture capitalism, online influence culture, and The Discourse, Pierce holds a mirror to an all-too familiar reality where the unthinkable becomes thinkable if there's profit to be made and prestige to be gained. A human romance in a world gasping for human connection, this one goes places!" ―Bitter Karella, author of Moonflow★ "An utterly ingenious horror-romcom, darkly zeitgeisty, and unnervingly plausible—funny as hell, too. You will not forget this book." ―Heather Aimee O'Neill, author of Read With Jenna book club pick The Irish GoodbyeAbout the author: A writer and photographer with a Master’s in Art History, Sarah G. Pierce currently lives in Manhattan with her poker-playing husband (whom she met on a dating app for living people), and their son. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/san-francisco/sarah-g-pierce-for-human-use-at-books-inc-in-the-marina/100001985538421869 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art, Business, Meetups, comedy - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: San Francisco - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Books Inc. - **lat**: 37.8001951 - **long**: -122.4403528 - **full address**: Books Inc., 2251 Chestnut Street, San Francisco, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: SARAH G.
