This book it interesting and one I've read and retread, for the many interesting ideas mentioned. That being said it is obviously a self publish which desperately needs an edit. It's a sad world we live in where a diamond (admittedly very much in the rough) can be ignored by publishers while the autobiography of a fictional insurance company mascot can be a number 1 best seller (No I haven't read ""a simples life"" nor do I intend to!) I have to say I even went to the trouble to show this book to a few acquaintances within publishing.

The story itself is long and contains far to many ideas for me to even be able to offer a flavour within a summary but here goes, the world has continued on its current self-destructive trajectory and now humans are limited to sterile over commercialised cities. Daily Zenith and his friends attempt to produce some useless rubbish, people can by today and throw out tomorrow. One such item is the fictional Smeliex (the prefect pet) which seems to capture the publics attention so much so that Zenith sets out to make the creature real. For this he will need the help of Dr Armstat a very disgruntled scientist who has spent his life trying to restore earths natural balance. The question is will society self destruct or can anything be done.

I would recommend this book to readers of dystopian fiction and fans of Chuck Palunick.
