The Psyman

We make the reality here. In our oxygen-soaked future, the three F's of Fear, Freedom and Fame reign supreme, surveillance is a way of life, and the Gobblers are tightly controlled by the Sharps. In this dystopian, post-apocalyptic world, Necker experiences a war like no other, Bock lives through the peaks and troughs of transient fame and becomes a revolutionary, and Biz is drafted into the ranks of the Sharps, destined to rule. But Biz is different to the other Sharps, and when he learns why, he also learns the key to restoring true Freedom to the people. Will he liberate the minds and change the lives of the Gobblers, or does fate have something else in store for him? Nick Bruechle's dark vision of a fame-obsessed society wreathed in war and propaganda is by turns wry, terrifying and sad. His world is beautifully realised, chillingly authentic, and far too close to our own reality for comfort. The Psyman will have you questioning the nature of freedom, the art of propaganda and the dangerous distraction of fame.
