After workaholic Lin Juan drops dead, he discovers that the underworld is the ultimate workplace for doing absolutely nothing. Meng Po cooks soup while binge-watching shows, Black and White Impermanence catch ghosts by lottery, and the line for reincarnation is eight hundred years long. He whips out a PowerPoint, installs a ticketing system on the Bridge of Helplessness, turns the eighteen levels of hell into a livestreamed tourist attraction, and drives a hundred thousand old ghosts crazy with KPIs. When the underworld’s efficiency skyrockets by 500%, the King of Hell pats him on the shoulder. “Keep up the good work, and I’ll get you a spot back among the living.” Lin Juan grins. “Once I get back, I’ll make the world of the living just as competitive.”
