About This Book

An advertising product engineer working a major lipstick campaign becomes entangled when a junior colleague pushes a novelty dusting powder that incorporates trace fission byproducts. Branded with atomic-themed copy, the powder delivers the advertised radiant appearance and yields unexpected physiological effects among users. Corporate maneuvering, diverted budgets, and rushed production turn a sidelined gimmick into a commercial sensation, forcing the narrator to confront the ethical, promotional, and practical consequences of releasing an inadequately tested cosmetic.
