A weird and revelatory debut that vividly captures the dislocation of growing up BIPOC and neurodivergent in a country awash in both conspiracy theories and genuine conspiracies. "The invisible D in my name is my mothers second most lasting contribution to my life." Wayne Leknown as "Invisible-D 'Wayne" at schoolhas been invited to participate in a seemingly ordinary, innocuous adolescent health study by a prestigious university. The study has a few nice perks, but most important to Wayne, is the opportunity to give his immigrant father an accomplishment to be proud ofsomething that's been in short supply since 'Wayne's mother left. But the study quickly proves to be anything but ordinary and innocuous, and Wayne, his best friend Kermit, and a fellow study participant named Jane (a girl who shall not be manic-pixied) find themselves sucked into an M. C. Escheresque maze of conspiracies that might be entirely in their heads or might truly be a sinister government plot.
