Description
Howard Winston Johns has just attempted suicide, but he is not sure why. A member of VIC Parliament for the seat of Canberra, Howard has a prestigious job in a world in which Democracy is Freedom, Freedom is Choice and Choice is the Consumer's. He has everything in the world he could need, and can have much more. He should be consummately happy. Yet something is missing. Thus begins a quest for meaning that, with the aid of Cyber Champion, Mick Turition, leads the Member for Canberra into the heart of the Underclass of social order in 2048's world of consumer bliss, and on to the strategic centre of global capital itself. All of your favourite characters from Nineteen Eighty-Four are there - the bric-a-brac shop vendor, O'Brien, the love interest - but in this closely crafted satire on the Orwellian masterpiece, you won't believe how Room 101 turns out.
