It’s far from an intellectual piece, though it does work as a goof on modern internet culture. You can expect fancy technology, weird weapons, and fashionable hitmen. How will she manage to keep her potential killers off her back, even as the whole world watches nearly every move she makes?įuturistic Violence and Fancy Suits is exactly what the title promises. With everyone streaming her whole ordeal live Zoey can’t find a moment of peace or a place to hide. Zoey discovers upon her arrival that she is tied to the city much more closely than she could have expected and that she has enemies quite eager to see her dead as soon as possible. She finds herself in the new city of Tabula Rasa, the ultimate corporate town, totally free of government interference, where money rules the day and even murder is a regular business transaction. Set in a near future where global citizens’ public and private actions are publicly broadcast over the internet daily and criminals commit crimes on demand to get high view counts on entertainment feeds, Zoey Ashe is forced by circumstance to flee her comfortable trailer park life. This is where David Wong’s action comedy novel Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits comes in. The consequences of this may be… interesting. All this technology is going to mean that I’ll be connected to everyone else all the time. I haven’t got a smartwatch yet and virtual reality googles are still a bit too expensive, but I expect I will get them eventually. I have the usual devices: smartphone, gaming consoles, a connected TV, a tablet, a regular computer. At least not any that you'd want to follow.Will Zoey figure it all out in time? Or maybe the better question is, will you? After all, the future is coming sooner than you think.There are so many internet connected devices available. Her only trusted advisor is the aforementioned cat, but even in the future, cats cannot give advice. This is the world in which Zoey Ashe finds herself, navigating a futuristic city in which one can find elements of the fantastic, nightmarish and ridiculous on any street corner. A world in which at least one cat smells like a seafood shop's dumpster on a hot summer day. Together, they will decide the future of mankind.Get ready for a world in which anyone can have the powers of a god or the fame of a pop star, in which human achievement soars to new heights while its depravity plunges to the blackest depths. Mysterious, smooth-talking power players who lurk behind the scenes.
