Veteran conspiracy author Len Bracken's collection of witty essays and articles takes readers down the dark corridors of conspiracy, politics, murder and mayhem. A fascinating maze of interwoven tales, it includes juicy morsels for conspiracy theorists, including the Russian Conspiracy, and an interview with Costa Rican novelist Joaquin Gutierrez.

The 12 chapters include:
-- A general theory of civil war
-- The real dirt about South African intelligence services
-- The New-Catiline Conspiracy for debt cancellation
-- Anti-Labor Day
-- plus aphorisms against work, solar economics and more.

A pop-conspiracy classic, The Arch Conspirator even includes a psychogeographic map of the third millennium.

"There's a growing trend in the modern imaginative novel to mimic the rapidfire intercut of information in our media age, collaging together a sort of holographic hyperdimensional text rather than plotting a simple linear story. I think of Moorcock's "Cornealius Chronicles," Shea & Wilson's "Illuminatus " trilogy, and Scholz & Harcourt's "Palimpsests" on the professional scale, and the work of such writers as Don Webb, Misha and Mink Mole in the small presses. Well, this book is an unexpectedly delightful addition to the genre (which, in case you have any doubt, is one I appreciate very much)."

"Freeplay reminded me of a more techno-political version of Rainbow Bridge, the film about Jimi Hendrix . I was impressed." Richard Peabody author of "Joints on Bridge"

"From Cam's initial meeting with Tancredo in a bar out of Sam Spade's old haunts, to the debacle in Moscow, to the nirvanic finale, Freeplay kept me glued to the page. It would take someone totally devoid of imagination not to live each scene in this deftly crafted game." Jim Keith, "Dharma Combat"

"Bracken writes a fast-paced chronicle of a jet-set team of free spirits who channel their anger into the creative world of sensual and technological game playing. Bracken exploits the obvious in descriptive tantrums and doublespeak. Plenty for the metaphysical anarchist to chew on." Mark Hand, " Incite"

And at charged moments like this, here with the woman of his dreams, however beautiful and real, he still felt as though his life faded into the dreaded spectacle and merely assumed a role in it.
