M's Celebrity

Steven, the first person narrator, discovers a man whom he refers to as M. Steven believes that M may be a genius, and together they begin a program of activism against what they see as the wrong-headed aspects of their world. Initially, their mostly innocent activities attract like-minded followers. But their eventual focus on Amanda Karlestone, a famously beautiful celebrity whom they believe to be the epitome of everything that they oppose, tests the philosophical purity of their motivations. The final series of dramatic confrontations between M’s world and Amanda’s world presents the question of whether M’s project was a work genius or something else entirely.
