AND THEY SAY CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN…

HOWEVER, in my newly release sci-fu (science-based future) novel, THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor, sans clothes is distinctly de rigueur, and if they don’t make the man, humans must make themselves what they are. Nothing to hide behind, except if you’re filthy rich in NewAmerica where every hedonistic pleasure is available if one can but afford it, including clothes.

The concept of nudity aside, the current clothing industry is said to be valued at $US 1.5 trillion meaning that is clothing is no longer “in,” nations would take a big economic retail hit. Covering oneself in animal skins, faux fur, sheep’s wool, cotton, or the millions of different synthetic fabrics and devices emerging everyday, is far more an issue than protecting one’s privates from the cold and curious. While clothes don’t make anyone, in NewAmerica they can provide some protection from physical violation using a coating of clear, monomolecular “flack” or even create an aura of sexual tension and romance using a shimmer-suit, that changes color with either one’s interests or is pre-programmed to appear as such. More correctly, clothes in this future world have been replaced entirely by technology. And no more tats — instead it’s all about ARS or Adaptive Reconstructive Surgery, like our main protagonist’s fully functional simian tail. Difficult to believe? Just take a moment and try to see in your mind’s eye the direction where today’s youth are leading tomorrow’s social mores. Not so implausible, yes?

Then there’s the whole topic of eroticism, which, at best is relative to the mores of society and often simply represents its extremes. How about adding a simian tail to a roll in the hay. While some may be jarred by the various imaginary ways one could use such a device for pleasure, others, especially denizens of the future NewAmerica might find it intriguing, arousing or even an outright wonderful addition to lovemaking. Don’t discount it until you’ve tried it, at least that’s what our main male protagonist and his woman-friend would say.

Romance, on the other hand is all about feeling safe enough to allow oneself to get physically close to (substitute intimate with) another. It’s about candlelight, soothing music, a comforting meal, wine, a cozy environment — relaxation of the barriers we carry with us necessary for our continued survival. In NewAmerica, that hasn’t changed. Only the way people go about it. There, it’s all about contraspray (a blend that, sprayed and breathed in, encourages love and sex without conception), Candy Shades (CableCandy that subtly alters one’s perceptions and memories), and best of all, those incredible T-rips (pre-programmed interactive holographic “vacations” one can take alone or with realtime, distance or virtual partner(s).

The only question is, are people mentally strong enough, grounded enough in body, and rich enough to enjoy partaking all the new technology surrounding affection, romance, love and sex. And, during one’s singular Sweet Sixteen Sexcapade enact it out publicly?
