Produktbeschreibung

What is profoundly disturbing about the rooms is not their construction-they are only as big as a walk-in closet, minus the clothes and shelves and racks. It is what is held within them: women created solely for the pleasure of men. These coded women, however, are for a more visceral type of enjoyment than sex. They exist to be killed. Programmed solely to be violently harmed by the men who rent them, these holograms, called "hommies", do not fight back. They do not question their intent.

Autorenporträt

Douglas Shoback scribbles down words that, for some odd reason, are published and read. By actual people.

He has a Masters in English, Cultural Studies, and Film.

In the mid-2000s, Douglas taught Creative Writing and Composition Studies at the University of Northern Colorado. He went on to teach high school English and then moved to London for five years--ironically teaching English Literature and Composition to British Secondary School students.

Teaching became too overwhelming and he moved back to the United States and rebooted his life in his home, Colorado.

Douglas writes Speculative and Science Fiction and essays about pop culture.

He is a proud Whovian. Bow ties are cool and kindness means everything.

Douglas is currently working on new novel, which is due sometime soon.

Bug him incessantly to write.
