Melee - Jack Cuthbertson on AUDIENCE CAPTURE
From the unique imagination of Jack Cuthbertson (host of Book Club from Hell (Jack)) comes Audience Capture, a brand new novel (out soon from Bonfire Books):
Atlas and the Shruggers. Four members, billions of fans. A band so popular as to be world government. The best music, the best storylines. Full spectrum audio-visual domination. Why would you pay attention to anything else?
But nothing lasts forever. The very forces that brought the Shruggers to prominence now turn on their former playthings.
Subversion in the form of phantom radio stations. Conspiring radar arrays. Visual prions. Rival bands. Breeding programs. Tasmanian separatists. Sold-out mass casualty attacks. Like clockwork, ERA repeats again. Separated, hunted, reformatted, our four band members must go through the painful transition from object to real, actual human beings.
Remember: there are no coincidences, only coordinations.
We also get into Jack’s writing process, “All Art is Political,” the Ausnaissance, and some of the recent works covered in his one-of-a-kind podcast.
