An Absolutely Remarkable Thing Chapters 4-5 Summary & Analysis

Chapter 4 Summary

At first, April does multiple TV interviews because it is weird and new—and for the money. After fumbling a few interviews, she learns that the trick is to focus on exactly one point and know when to stop talking. By the sixth interview, April is a professional, and she realizes that pundits don’t want to discuss what happened: they want to use it to talk about things they always discuss.

When someone impersonates April on Twitter and is mean to her audience, she realizes she has to make an account. April rapidly gains followers, and she screens her posts to make sure they are high quality. After a week of interviews, April stops showing up to work. Though she has made tens of thousands of dollars, her income stream is drying up.

April and Maya continue investigating the Wikipedia mystery known as the Freddie Mercury Sequence. Though April wants to tweet the sequence to ask her followers for help, Maya uses April’s newfound sense of self-importance to ask if she would rather be the person to reveal there is a mystery or the person who solves it.

On a flight to Los Angeles for a late-night talk show, April finds she has the same seat number as another person and is moved to first class.
