Care Full is a novel set in a dystopian world similar to ours where there are Siphoners, workers similar to therapists who take on physical “bloat” in addition to the emotional, and where care is lashed to capitalism and there are few swimmable bodies of water due to the effects of climate change. The novel is told through the perspective of a Siphoner called Nettie, who among other things, is looking for complete annihilation of ego through their work caring for others, and tries to avoid “bloatout”, this world’s version of burnout. At the cult-like clinic Nettie works for, they are told they can avoid bloat out through “becoming water”, and they enroll in a mysterious study to learn how to do so, all the while taking care of mentally ill teenagers and bonding with their colleagues in a hot tub warehouse called the Tub ‘N Tan. While Nettie learns to excel at becoming water, they soon learn with the help of their Internet friend from childhood, their participation in the study and resultant practice may be making them easier to exploit. Worse yet, it may be causing harm to others.
