The Enron scandal was, as of 2004, the largest bankruptcy in American history and is a prescient example of corporate fraud and audit failure. The Good Life offers the unique opportunity to experience this landmark event from the inside. Users may sign up to receive all 500,000 emails confiscated from Enron and by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The emails, mostly sent between 150 members of Enron’s senior management will be sent to participants in chronological order, creating a nightmarish simulation of living through the death throes of a massive corporation in the early ‘00s.
