Behind the pastel science-fiction cover lives a collection of short stories (e.g “SNI Texto,” “CEO,” “Sanction!,” and, reviewed here, “Prevention”), all page-turners. The stories are, letter-by-letter, hyperactive.
You’ve heard it before, the battle of left versus right. In the ear canal, one starship overtakes another. The crew jumps aboard the accosted vessel. The raid begins. Big cartoon clouds with puffed-up cheeks blow trade winds of insurrection. Infection billows from left to right, right to left, across an empty noise-rattled skull. Before you know it, the crew finds what they are looking for - in a basket - the evidence. The blackmail begins. Escalating tensions. Stereophonic Civil War. SFX include: fake screams, fake rock n’ roll, fumbling bombus buzz. Monologue: Evel Knievel hyperventilating, sucking up green energy for rehydration.
Second-by-second, diversions abound and plotlines break; subplots are rerouted then discontinued. Bumpers, kickers, and stoppers light up in a multiball frenzy.
Down pinball alley, bub.
