Free Radicals: A Novel Of Utopia And Dystopia

Description

Set in a dystopian society in the not-too-distant future, this sci-fi novel

follows the misadventures of a bar musician and army vet who''s set up on

terrorism charges and deported to a single-continent prison planet. After a

fight in which he nearly kills a neo-Nazi, the antihero main character

flees to the other end of the continent with a prisoner he knew from

Earth—a Mexican anarchist and fellow musician—on a Gulliver''s Travels–type

journey through a number of political and religious cult compounds. With

comical depictions of the various cults they encounter on the way, Free

Radicals insightfully explores the often-failed attempts at utopia and the

day-to-day life of two traveling musicians.
