The Future Art Factory

by Paul Nagle

Arrogant computer programmer Jim Cavanah lost himself after the break-up of his marriage, so he began work on a unique self-improvement programme. Within his own wonderful brain, he began to reprogram his personality. This involved stripping down and rewriting the programs he discovered running in his head. To his surprise, lots of strange things began to happen, not least being that several people he'd never met attempted to kill him.

The Future Art Factory is a fast-paced, complex novel that ultimately reveals the true purpose of all creation, the identity of God and the dangers of eating too much space cake. It takes place in a universe similar to our own, although the End Of All Things didn't, as far as I recall, occur in Preston, Lancashire in 2003 but a short time afterwards.

(disclaimer 1: this book was written by a friend)
(disclaimer 2: i read the paper edition)

This book is what would happen if someone from the North of England wrote American Gods, and somehow the uncensored direct-from-the-pen version was published by accident.

Translation: this book has my highest recommendation.

This is fairly clearly an amateur self-published ebook in desperate need of a good editor and proofreader. Spelling mistakes, bad punctuation, pagination and font accidents abound.

However, even in this raw state you can clearly see that there is a great stoner-fantasy-comedy hiding in there, and it is crying out to be picked up by a professional outfit and turned into a decent book - or more likely a trilogy.
