Journal Entry 1 by nakmeister from Lancaster, Lancashire United Kingdom on Monday, June 07, 2004

It is the future, and the world is run by giant American corporations. Everybody's surname is the name of the company they work for - and if you're unemployed you have no status and no surname.
Hack Nike is a lowly merchandising officer, and is delighted when he gets a job marketing a range of new, really, really expensive trainers. He's less than thrilled though when he discovers that his new job involves shooting teenagers...

This is a slick and fast paced thriller, tightly written and with some brilliant ideas. It's a witty novel that does a good job of exposing the flaws in our society, and the scariest thing is that you can almost imagine it really happening...

Very highly recommended. This is the paperback version, and is about 300 pages long.

I'm doing a bookring for this, so if you're interested please PM me. Am hoping to ship the book out in a week or two (towards the end of June). People so far are:

This was a pretty good book but felt that it kind of dragged along at parts! Very interesting story though and a very imaginative author!
