[...] On May 29th 2007, I did something of a throwaway post. I had seen truther footage about the plane that crashed into the Pentagon. Being drunk, I posted it without comment. I figured it was a fake but a convincing one. I hoped that the swarm intelligence of the internet would show me how, where and why. [...]
"This ultra-sharp, darkly satiric, hyper-speed novel is set in a world where multi-level mega malls serves as city states and everything on the outside lies in ruin. On the lower red levels, gang violence and media saturation and bio-tech designer drugs rule. During the weekend, slummers from the green levels leave their safe lives of jobs and families to partake in risky, sometimes deadly, fun on the red levels. And on every level, TV and advertisements literally penetrate the mind. Death is easy and life cheap, until that life is your own or your beloveds. Extreme stylization, great characters, and a high-level of intensity is maintained throughout. This is a whip-smart, truly violent novel that has at its core a still very human pulsing heart."

I have no idea what you’re all talking about. Perhaps your tin hats are too tight.
