Produktbeschreibung

Luna for the Lunies! is the third collection of Alternate Reality News Service stories. The Alternate Reality News Service sends reporters into other dimensions and has them report back on what they find there. Robots who rue their consciousness! Alien invasions foiled by bureaucrats! A successful conclusion to the war on squirrels! These and many other stories are followed by the intrepid Alternauts of the Alternate Reality News Service. In addition to courageous reporting, the Alternate Reality News Service features 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 to the author's Web site, Les Pages aux Folles. Charles de Lint, in Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine, called the first collection of Alternate Reality News Service stories, Alternate Reality Ain't What It Used To Be, "one of my favorite books of 2008." Antony Jones, on the Science Fiction and Fantasy Web site, said it was "one of the funniest, most compelling and just craziest books I have read since Douglas Adams first put pen to paper." "Be prepared to laugh when reading What Were Once Miracles Are Now Children's Toys," John Ottinger III wrote about the second collection of Alternate Reality News Service stories on the Grasping for the Wind Web site. The Alternate Reality News Service. If you don't like this reality, try another one!

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,...
