Synopsis
As the editor of London's revolutionary New Worlds magazine in the Swinging Sixties, Michael Moorcock has been credited with virtually inventing modern science fiction, publishing authors including Norman Spinrad, Samuel R. Delaney, Brian Aldiss and J.G. Ballard. Now, Moorcock's most audacious creation, Jerry Cornelius - assassin, rock star, chronospy and maybe-Messiah - is back in MODEM TIMES 2.0, a time-twisting odyssey that connects 1960s London with Obama's America, making stops in Palm Springs and Guantanamo.

Review
"A major novelist of enormous ambition." --Washington Post
"[This book includes] an appropriately baffling and non-linear Jerry Cornelius short story; the essay "My Londons," a clear-eyed reflection on Moorcock's life in that most iconic of cities; and an interview with Moorcock conducted by series editor Terry Bisson." --Austin Statesman (April 4, 2011)
"Moorcock is a throwback to such outsized 19th-century novelistic talents as Dickens and Tolstoy." --Locus Magazine
"The nonlinear narrative skips along like a scratched DVD, but never loses sight of the central concern: how does the tension between remembering and forgetting sustain us through the stress of unending disasters? Also included are . . . a short reminiscence of Moorcock's life from the 40s to the 90s, and a wonderfully insightful interview . . . conducted by editor Terry Bisson." --Publishers Weekly (April 4, 2011)
