What if the afterlife were just another department of the State?
Frank had one plan: jump off a building and end it all. What he didn't expect was to gently float to the ground like a bureaucratic Mary Poppins-minus the umbrella or job satisfaction. Now Frank can't seem to die, and worse, someone (or something) clearly doesn't want him to.
Soon he's being monitored, manipulated, and mysteriously assigned to surveil his coworker Jill. Who's watching who? Why does he keep getting new phones stuffed into his pockets? And what's with the man in the dumpster who won't stop talking about climate change?
Caught between mind-numbing office reports, bowel-obsessed childhood trauma, and a cosmic surveillance program with suspiciously corporate workflows, Frank has questions. Unfortunately, the only answer he's getting is: keep watching Jill... and don't forget to post about it.
A darkly absurd comedy about surveillance, mortality, and mid-level management, Department of Eternal Affairs is perfect for fans of Christopher Moore, The Good Place, and Kafka for Dummies.
