In Ruth Mader’s sci-fi dystopia Life Guidance, the eponymous agency supports people in leading an optimal life—optimal in the sense of a turbo- capitalist society. When Alexander lets the wrong thing slip out one day, Life Guidance arrives on the scene immediately — and intervenes with increasing intensity in an only seemingly happy, single family unit. Along with the coach, who is faithful to the system, unease intrudes into Alexander’s life. Unease about a society that has forgotten all humanity.
