Parachute yourself into the dystopic future right around the corner, where clichés are taken to their extreme: America shops until self-storage is the only growth industry, the EU has glommed together to be a super Green alliance, and one man controls 60% of the world’s GDP. Throw in a massive pile of money laced with psychotropic drugs and an ex-con who has the idea to use shopping as terrorism, to change the system. Gullen brings out a debut that’s wickedly inventive and wildly ambitious. It creaks, sometimes, holding together this world and the various plot threads, but it’s bloody good.
