A serialized neo-noir novel. The story follows Pug, a down-on-his-luck gig economy worker, as he stumbles and bumbles through gentrifying Oakland's bougie cafes, dive-bars-turned-cocktail-joints, and ever-expanding homeless encampments as he tries to find a long-lost friend. Along the way, Pug stumbles across a housing conspiracy that goes all the way to the top. http://oaktownnoir.strikingly.com/
