Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits is a 2015 science fiction novel by Jason Pargin, originally published under his pen name David Wong.

The novel follows Zoey Ashe, a young woman who unexpectedly finds herself inheriting and running her late father's criminal empire with assistance from his inner circle, "The Suits".

The key distinction is the prevalence of "Blink", a social media network that aggregates live feeds from millions of cameras worn by users.

With everyone being broadcast live at all times, privacy effectively ceases to exist and everyone, from street vendors and vagabonds to police and criminals, is expected to build and maintain a personal brand to stay on top of what they do.

Blackwater informs Zoey that her estranged father Arthur Livingston had died and asks her to come to Tabula Ra$a, a charter city built by the ultra-wealthy in the middle of the Utah desert.

Taken to the Livingston estate, Zoey learns that her late father left behind a vault with her brain scan as the only key, which prompted the bounty on her head.

Zoey finds a message from Livingston addressed to her, showing that he was secretly financing research into Raiden - a revolutionary method of energy storage that can power miniaturized implants which give their users apparent superpowers.

Molech uses the power of Raiden to obliterate Tabula Ra$a's heavily armed private security, but his victory broadcast is interrupted by the Suits.

[2] Starburst praised the commentary on the spread of social media and the amount of twists and turns, calling it "a sofa clutching read from beginning to end".
