What happens when the logic of commerce entirely consumes the culture of hospitality?In this darkly humorous and piercingly observant memoir, a veteran wanderlust arrives in Malaysia dreaming

of postcard perfection. Instead, he is enrolled in a masterclass in tourist extraction.

From the moment he's charged a hospitality fee to access his pre-paid airport hotel room, to the night he sleeps on a villa floor next to a U-shaped mattress deemed normal by a committee of staff, his journey becomes a systematic unraveling of the travel dream. He navigates the clinical intimidation of the Petronas Towers, the chaotic backdrop of a historic political rally, and the captive economy of a duty-free island paradise, discovering at every turn that the tourist is not a guest, but a revenue unit.
