A unique blend of consciousness theory, satire and contemporary
science fiction, The Undernet is a fast-paced thriller set in the
cultural wasteland of modern Los Angeles. Decadent Uncle Ray dies
of an apparent heart attack, just minutes before Arthur French
walks in the door from Tucson, Arizona to start his new career as
an artist. This sets into motion a series of unfortunate
interactions with the men and women of Ray's life -Sharon his
unstable girlfriend, Marc, his steroidally-enhanced lawyer, and the
mysterious Detective Turing, a voice on the phone which Arthur soon
discovers is in fact a computer program that Ray built to influence
the Federal Reserve's prime lending rate. Despite all evidence to
the contrary, Turing insists it's not self-conscious, just highly
suspicious about the death of its creator. Teaming up with the
manic (if oddly self-effacing) computer program, Arthur
investigates the circumstances behind Ray's death, uncovering a
plan, and an entity, of mindbending comic proportions.
