A blisterlingly original and entertaining SF novel from the " Distresingly brilliant " Steve Aylett Dante Cubit nad the Entropy Kid attempt a bank raid in Beerlight - the city where killing a man is less a murder than a mannerism,where false arrest is a moral duty. Moving effortlessly and seamlessly from real world to virtual reality we follow the progress of Dante in his efforts to steal the last book by rabble rouser and street philosopher extroadinaire Eddie Gamete. Meanwhile outside the bank, Blince the local police chief, has closed down the area and deployed demographic cannon. Fortunately he doesn't realise he is in the wrong bank. In a world where guns only shoot those who are asking for it and time locks propel you forward to a place where you've already been arrested, nothing is certain - except that Steve Aylett is taking you on the wildest ride of the imagination that SF has conjured up in the last 5 years.

Hardcover. Etat de la jaquette : dj. SF novel: ''UK author who very quickly developed a reputation for his tone of voice, which could be described as gonzo, surreal, metacyberpunkish, riff-driven, surfer-noir; it is a voice which sometimes obscures the objects of his tales, which attack the objects of their satire through vignettes, quotes and characters from the pulp magazines and comics of the previous century. SLAUGHTERMATIC, part of the Beerlight sequence, is set in the vaguely Gotham-like crime-ridden dystopian city of Beerlight where Jorge Luis Borges intersects (as in his own works) with Mickey Spillane'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF, 4th Edition). Fine copy in a fine dustjacket (as new). First hardcover edition (& 1st printing). Signed. N° de réf. du vendeur 10798
