His name is Michael. He's attractive, sweet, and, according to him, her friends, and the pictures on her walls, he's Lauren's husband. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJust as Lauren is trying to figure out how she could be married to someone she can't remember meeting, Michael climbs up into the attic to change a lightbulb and abruptly disappears. In his place, a new man climbs down, and a new, slightly altered life reforms around her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLauren quickly realizes that her attic can somehow--incredibly--supply her with endless iterations of lives and partners. Cycling through marriages--sometimes lasting weeks, sometimes less than five minutes--Lauren grapples with her fate. If swapping husbands is as easy as changing a lightbulb, when do you know you've found the right one? How do you recognize what's good, or what simple happiness feels like, in a world that demands constant optimization with one more search or swipe left?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHOLLY GRAMAZIO is a game designer, curator and writer, originally from Adelaide and currently based in London.
