Dave DeLuca

Neighborworld Dave DeLuca

A bulldada science fiction novel by Lonesome Cowboy Dave DeLuca, the astounding improvisational wizard of The Church of the SubGenius radio show, The Hour of Slack. A little bit A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, a taste of The Firesign Theatre, a dab of Fletcher Brothers cartoons, a dash of Kafka, a splash of Fellini, and a whole fistful of Lonesome Cowboy Dave! It's about twenty years into the future and the lines between television, the Internet and the real world have not merely blurred, they've disappeared. Stan Mozuck is an Advo, part content provider and part detective, with a daunting new assignment: to uncover and report on a mysterious group called the Weirds. These grotesque characters seem to live completely off the grid, yet have extraordinary powers to manipulate and twist not only the social media net but reality itself. Stan's head is already pretty twisted, but when the Weirds climb into it they steer him into a collision course with himself.
