Very Acme (Paperback)

Very Acme is two books within one, it is about small town life in the global age and trying to keep a sense of identity in a world of multi-corporations and information overload. New Nomad, Nappy Expert, small town man and ultimately a hologram - these are the life roles of Adrian Wilson, hero and author of this book, which when he began writing it, was to become the worlds first novel about two and a half streets. He figured that all you ever needed to know could be discovered within a square mile of his front room, an easy claim to make by a man who's family hadn't moved an inch in nearly seven ceturies. All this changes when a new job sends him all around the world, stories of Slaughter and the Dogs and Acme Terrace give way to Proctor & Gamble and the Russian Mafia. He even starts feeling nostalgic for the beginning of the book before he gets to the end.
