Ira Nayman

ARNS and the Man (The Alternate Reality News Service, #7) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Alternate Reality News Service sends reporters to other dimensions and has them write news articles about what they find there. In ARNS and the Man, the news organizations' journalists focus on the United States of Vesampucceri, the world's foremost idiotocracy (government by of the stupidest, by the stupidest, for the stupidest). Whether it is the war on donuts, steps to roll back efforts to curtail Global Hot as Hellification or constant, constantly inappropriate Presidential tweeps on Twitherd, the Alternate Reality News Service bravely reports on it all.

"Amusing, sardonic political and social satire..." John Shirley

"Ira skewers American politics in a way only a Canadian can, with absurdist wit and wisdom." Michael Ventrella

Autorenporträt

Ira Nayman is profilic. Proficlic. Proclif - he writes a lot.

He has self-published eleven collections of articles written by the tireless staff of the Alternate Reality News Service. Five contain news, reviews, interviews, and anything else you might expect to find in your daily newspaper (Alternate Reality Ain't What It Used To Be, What Were Once Miracles Are Now Children's Toys, Luna for the Lunies!, The Street Finds Its Own Uses for Mutant Technologies and Futures in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear). The series also contains two collections of humourous science fiction advice columns: The Alternate Reality News Service's Guide to Love, Sex and Robots and What the Hell Were You Thinking? Good Advice for people who make bad decisions. The series is rounded out by three collections of reports from a universe where Vesampucceri is the world's leading idiotocracy (rule by the stupidest people): ARNS and the Man, E Deplorables Unum and Angels of Our Bitter Nature. The most recent book collects the three Vesampucceri volumes in one; it is called Idiotocracy for Dummies. All but the first and most recent books are available on Smashwords. (They are also available in print, for those of you who have a fetish for paper...)

New Alternate Reality News Service stories appear regularly on Ira's Web site: Les Pages aux Folles. These include two advice columns: Ask Amritsar (about love and romance and technology) and Ask the Tech Answer Guy (about anything to do with technology except love and romance). Readers are encouraged to submit their own questions for the advice columns. Les Pages aux Folles also contains topical political and social satire and surreal cartoons.

The Weight of Information, the pilot for a radio series based on Alternate Reality News Service articles, can be heard on YouTube; listen to Part One or Part Two.

Ira has also written eight Transdimensional Authority novels, six of which have been published by Elsewhen Press: Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience); You Can't Kill the Multiverse (But You Can Mess With its Head); Random Dingoes; It's Just the Chronosphere Unfolding as It Should; The Multiverse is a Nice Place to Visit, But I Wouldn't Want to Live There; and, Good Intentions: The Multiverse Refugees Trilogy: First Pie in the Face. They follow the adventures of Transdimensional Authority Investigators or Time Agency Agents. If you're somewhere (or somewhen) you shouldn't be,...
