Omschrijving

This edition, now illustrated by Simon Walpole with 13 full page images, bringing the story further to life.This is still probably one of two of the bawdiest and most scathing lampoons of science fiction and big business ever written. The second of the two is 'The Fifth Correction' by the same author of course.Tom is catapulted into a chaotic world where bureaucracy and process have taken over from all logic and good sense. Everything is there to perpetuate an organisational structure. Nobody knows what the company actually does, and Tom, suddenly in charge, is given the biggest challenge to find out.Add into this multiple attempts on his life, his quest to find true love, an investigation into a murder without a victim, the first rule of being a private investigator, and the impending total collapse of four universes, and we have a tangled knot that even Alexander the Great would have trouble cutting through.Tom has to do something, otherwise it will be the end of everything he knows, and quite a few bits he doesn't.We have here not beep-beep science fiction, but a lusty romp through everything wrong with business and life today, neatly wrapped up in a bit of sci-fi and interconnected adventures.Adults only, and only those who are not easily offended... and managers - you might even see yourselves, an organisation, or someone you recognise caricatured here in our alternative universes.
