"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever."
So wrote George Orwell, somewhat grimly, nearly 65 years ago.
Now imagine Orwell's infamous boot gracing the foot of Margot the Pansexual Commando, a beret-and-black-lace-wearing "elite forces" killer, and you will have entered the surreal and darkly comic world of MISSING ZERO.
Set in the unspeakably-clean city of Queme, the novel traces one man's quest for truth in our post-Orwellian age.
Sexually frank, intellectually subversive and laugh-out-loud funny, MISSING ZERO explores along the way the modern battlefield in the war between the sexes, while also parodying the larger catastrophe that is 21st-century life.
The novel's kilt-wearing protagonist, Lorem Ipsum, is the missing zero of the title. And his is the face of an eternally downtrodden humanity, albeit as seen in a fun-house mirror.
An outsider and iconoclast, he is both the ultimate Everyman and "nowhere man". But could he also have a larger role to play than that again...say, that of helping to usher in the Apocalypse?
Read the novel they tried to have suppressed and find out. The future fate of all humanity might just depend on it...
"I've never been quite sure what the fruit was forbidden to do, anyways...Thou shalt not go brown and mushy!" - Lorem Ipsum
