From
The Raw Shark Texts to
Atlas Shrugged and every Chuck Palahniuk novel in between, it’s not too hard these days to find a book (or film) that plays devious tricks on your mind. Rarer is the breed that takes you for that mental rollercoaster ride and then leaves you thinking about the underlying message for days to come. Enter Peter Darbyshire, with his follow up to the critically-acclaimed

The Warhol Gang takes place in a dystopian future… or wait, does it?

Thomas Quinn, the protagonist of
Maxwellâs Demon, is a novelist who has failed both artistically and commercially; he is also the son of a great and famous writer, now dead. As the book opens, we find Thomas still haunted by his estrangement from his father â but even more so by another writer, the enigmatic genius Andrew Black, who was his fatherâs protege. Blackâs only book,
Cupidâs Engine, was a masterpiece and an industry-changing bestseller. Years ago, Black vanished after refusing to fulfil a publishing contract because his publisher would not agree to his demand that they never publish any ebooks again. The existence of ebooks, according to Black, is going to bring about the apocalypse.
