Summary:
Two weeks before his twenty-first birthday, Las Vegas native Bobby Ingersoll finds out hes inherited a crushing gambling debt from his scumbag father. The debt is owed to an even scummier bag named Fraser Ruphart who oversees his bottom-rung criminal empire from the classy-adjacent Trump International Hotel. Bobbys prospects of paying off the note, which comes due the day he turns twenty-one, are about as dim as the sign on the towers façade.
The two weeks pass in the blink of a (snake) eye, but before Bobbys luck runs out, he stumbles upon enough cash to pay Ruphart off and change his familys fortune. More importantly, he finds himself with a new, for lack of a better word, faith.
Bobby does not consign his big break to a higher power'what Penn Jillette hero ever could? Instead, he devises and devotes himself to Random, a philosophy where his life choices are based entirely on the roll of his lucky dice. What follows is a hilarious exploration into not so much what defines us as what divines us when we give over every decisionfrom what to eat to whom to marry to how or when to dieto the random fall of two numbered cubes.
Combining the intellectual curiosity of Richard Dawkins with the humor and grit of an Elmore Leonard antihero, Jillettes up-on-his-luck Ingersoll is the character we need to help us navigate the chaos of the post-truth era.
Well, unless his roll runs cold.
