Up in the Air

Ryan Bingham`s job as a Career Transition Counselor (he fires people) has kept him airborne for years. He hates his job, but loves `Airworld, finding happiness in pressurized cabins and anonymous hotel rooms, and pursuing a noble ultimate goal: one million frequent flier miles. With sharp wit, and wisdom, `Up in the Air` combines brilliant social observation with an acute sense of the modern mind. It is a story for unsettled times.
