In such a outrageously funny, outrageously inventive debut, one of the very most outrageously talented new writers to break onto the sci-fi scene in decades asks the most loaded question of all…
"Not hate it at these times?"
…that’s what the business enterprise card asks Jonny X67, dream architect to the rich and jaded. It’s all the thieves who stole his house left behind. Of course, if that weren’t bad enough, a saleswoman named Caroline E61 drops from the sky to sell him a couple of encyclopedias and won’t take no for an answer. Can his luck get any worse?
In this rip-roaring roller-coaster ride through a brilliantly imagined future of paranoid absurdity, Jonny X will learn the solution quickly enough when he falls afoul of your lunatic motorcycle gang nicknamed the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, a relentless Belgian assassin, and his own irate girlfriend. Traversing a cityscape whose neighborhoods are organized by musical genres, running into joke-telling elevators and holographic computer viruses, Jonny is about to learn just what a nightmare it’s going to be to get his old life back in possible warping faster than the speed of the imagination. Outrageous Fortune heralds a marvelous new talent sure to be delightfully altering the minds of readers for a long time to come.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
