Be More Chill
    2019-05-22  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

Jeremy Heere is your average high school dork*. Day after day, he stares at beautiful Christine, the girl he can never have, and dryly notes the small humiliations* that come his way. Until the day he learns about the “squip.”

A pill-sized supercomputer that you swallow, the squip is guaranteed to bring you whatever you most want in life. By instructing him on everything from what to wear, to how to talk and walk, the squip transforms Jeremy from geek to the coolest guy in class. Soon he is friends with his former tormentors and has the attention of the hottest girls in school.

But Jeremy discovers that there is a dark side to handing over control of your life — and it can have disastrous consequences*.

In 2015, “Be More Chill” became an off-Broadway musical written by composers* Joe Tracz and Joe Iconis. This March, the musical hit Broadway’s Lyceum Theater. Additionally, the book is also having a film adaptation in the works.

Author Ned Vizzini began writing for The New York Press at 15. At 19, he had his first book “Teen Angst? Naaah...” published. He was also author of other books for young adults including “The Other Normals” and “It’s Kind of a Funny Story.”

Vizzini’s stories often drew on his struggles with anxiety and depression, yet they had a strong comic bent. His fans appreciated his honesty and sense of humor. (SD-Agencies)
