by Norman Spinrad (Author)
Norman Spinrad's writing career spans over six decades and has seen him become one of the science fiction genre's most illustrious and controversial authors. A masterful satirist and instigator, he is well-known for taking risks, challenging conventions, and pushing the limits of narrative in books like Bug Jack Baron and The Iron Dream. In Welcome to Your Dreamtime, he returns to his avant-garde roots as a practitioner of New Wave science fiction in the twentieth century, but here his purview is fixed on the twenty-first century as he depicts how contemporary reality has been transformed into an aggressive irreality of Desire Unbound by the forces of digital culture. Dark, playful, humorous, subversive, and intelligent, this esoteric novel re-establishes Spinrad as the "hip, worldly, high-tech Nostradamus" that Timothy Leary said he was.
