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.
