The Fictional Man
Author(s): Al Ewing
Funny, whipsmart, profound and moving, a worthy successor to Ballard or Dick
“What’s it like, not being real?”
In LA, where today’s star is tomorrow’s busboy, discarded “Fictionals”—characters spun into flesh-and-blood by technology—are everywhere. Screenwriter Niles Golan’s therapist is a Fictional. So is his best friend. So (maybe) is the woman in the bar he can’t stop staring at. It’s getting so you can’t tell who’s real and who’s not.
Niles isn’t completely sure how real he is…
Review(s):
“A book you want to endlessly quote” -- Den of Geek
“A breathtakingly clever writer” -- Amazing Stories
“Worthy of comparison with Philip K. Dick” -- Starburst Magazine
“A fascinating tour-de-force” -- SFX Magazine
ISBN: 9781781088180
