"Chain-Gang All-Stars is a dystopian novel by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah that critiques the American prison system, capitalism, and racism through a televised, gladiator-style death match program for incarcerated people. The story follows lovers and fan-favorites Loretta Thurwar and Hamara "Hurricane Staxxx" Stacker as they fight for their freedom in the "Criminal Action Penal Entertainment" (CAPE) program, a reality show where prisoners compete to the death for the entertainment of millions. The book is a National Book Award finalist and a searing commentary on mass incarceration, systemic inequality, and the commodification of human life."
