Onderdeel van de reeks(en)The Eternal Champion (Jerry Cornelius Quartet 2) Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)
A mirror-image of his former self, Jerry Cornelius returns to a parallel London, armed with a vibragun and his infamous charisma and charm to boot. On the trail of the grotesque Bishop Beesley, Jerry hunts for a mysterious device capable of manipulating the cosmos. Corruption, violence and greed are rife in a war-torn Europe, but Jerry is against history; he is outside of history. He lusts for the equilibrium of anarchy, for randomness supreme--lock up your daughters (and sons), Jerry Cornelius is back. Dunked into the ether of Chaos, the second book in the Cornelius Quartet, A Cure for Cancer, was one of the first novels of its form, using hypermedia to spin a web of hauntingly surreal scenes, wickedly funny social satire and sci-fi vignettes that resonate deeply for the modern reader.

Not as fun as the first volume i felt, although it does pick up in the latter 3rd. This is really two separate but consecutive stories so the entire first half feels a bit lacking. Also found the political geography hard to get a handle on for a long time.
I also don’t react well to too much narrative interruption and there are some very short chapters in this.
However it still has some great imagery and 60’s surrealism.
