Uhhsthetic
On his seventeenth birthday in Las Vegas, Joaquín “Jojo” Herrera gets high in his backyard and is abducted by aliens. Not the pop-culture kind. These are ten-foot-tall aesthetic purists who serve higher-dimensional beings called the Makers. To them, the universe is a gallery, and humanity’s messy, wasteful existence is a stain on the composition. Deemed contamination and marked for a memory wipe, Jojo refuses to forget. What follows is a philosophical debate conducted in a supermarket at 2 AM, where the fate of Earth hinges on questions no one thought to ask.
