Benjamin X. Prestley, CEO of the future, has a problem: I've murdered him. Meanwhile, The inhabitants of totalitarian Neo Amsterdam take nanotech drugs in order to feel more task-ready and robot like. The inexplicable detonation of a magnetomic bomb in Poland destroys the Earth's magnetic field, makes the use of ferrous materials unsafe, and provides a rich setting for Bollywood sci-fi musicals and American reality TV shows.

The international space station, filled with chess-playing Russians and Americans with limbs so atrophied that they can never go back home, gets a cryo-freeze visitor from deep space, and neighbors of Danger City send ambassadors to try to find a government to talk to about the increasing "danger pollution."

Warning: fast-paced, experimental format!

I wrote a novel as part of the 2003 National Novel Writing Month project. The rules are simple: produce a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. To succeed I had to give up all other projects and spend many long evenings, but I did succeed, and you can download my novel Name of Author by Title of Book to see for yourself!

About the Author:

Title of Book, otherwise known as Tom Murphy VII, created this book in a frantic month for the National Novel Writing Month contest/ project (http://nanowrimo.org/). He hopes that you enjoy it. Although this book seems to make him out to be obsessed with these things, Tom does not smoke uranium cigarettes, bodybuild, take any sort of drugs, listen to Rush or Vanilla Ice unironically, or murder people. Instead, he studies idealistic mathematics in the computer science Ph.D. program at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. You can see his other projects at http://tom7.org/.
