Patrick Finegan Releases New Novel TOYS IN BABYLON

Patrick Finegan has announced the release of his new novel, Toys in Babylon: A Language App Parody and Whodunnit, a satire and murder mystery. This story takes readers on a madcap journey through the inner workings-and hilarious unraveling-of a wildly successful language-learning app.

When the mascot and spokes-bear of a popular language app is found dead, chaos ensues. Was the culprit an ambitious executive, a disillusioned employee, a jilted lover, or perhaps one of the app's cartoon instructors-a charmingly animated AI with more intelligence than expected? Toys in Babylon is a satirical look at the intersection of technology, corporate ambition, and human folly, inspired by a chain novel prompt on a language app fan site. Originally serialized online, the story has been expanded into a definitive novel available in both English and German.
