In this intriguing novel, set in the twenty-third century, Jeremy Reed brings his creative inventiveness and poetic vision into full play. Moving dreamlike in a surreal landscape, metamorphosed by what is termed the 'change-over', are five survivors: Arc, a film director; Marilyn, Arc's transsexual lover; Zap, a painter; Cindy, a writer; and Johnny, a musician. As the narrative unfolds we become aware that Arc has created a videoscape, a fiction invented by his camera. Obsessed by three icons of twentieth-century culture, David Bowie, novelist J.G. Ballard, and painter Andy Warhol, Arc retreats into a world of hallucinatory dimensions, to find his obsessive fantasies turn finally into chilling realities.
