Beat By America


Overview

What happens when the American Dream stops smiling and starts swinging? Beat By America is a vicious, gut-punch of a book, darkly hilarious, brutally unfiltered, and allergic to inspirational bullshit. It's the story of Potato, an immigrant woman who arrives chasing opportunity and ends up collateral damage in a system that sells hope at premium prices and collects with compound interest. Wife, worker, mom, perpetual foreigner, Potato gets sized up, priced out, and quietly dismantled by bureaucracy, cultural landmines, economic quicksand, and the polite everyday cruelty of a country that demands gratitude while tightening the noose. Marriage strains under unpaid bills and unspoken resentment. Motherhood becomes a performance reviewed by strangers. Work is a treadmill set to ""soul-crushing."" And the paperwork? A medieval torture device disguised as customer service. This isn't a triumphant underdog story with a swelling soundtrack. It's a slow-motion car crash with impeccable comic timing. Raw, savage, and laughing through bloodied teeth, Beat By America blurs memoir and fiction to expose the quiet sadism baked into the world's favorite success myth. Hilarious when it's not devastating, devastating when it's not hilarious. One question lingers long after the last page: How much of yourself do you have to surrender before the dream finally admits it never wanted you in the first place? For readers who crave fearless truth over feel-good lies, social autopsy over self-help, and stories that bite back.
