SUBTLE SUNDAY
THAT’S right. It’s Sunday and subtlety is what it’s all about. Looking at the City from my apartment, everything looks, well, abnormally normal. Not much traffic. Brilliant day. Not too hot, not too cold. Sun rays peeking through scattered clouds, highlighting the colors of various buildings, as if each highlighted building had a special story to tell. But I’m calling it a subtle Sunday for a reason.
Climate change. Trash in the deepest points of the oceans. Covid-19-delta/lambda/etc. Global finances running amok. Wall Street awash in speculation. More terrorist strongholds. Rising crypto-warfare. Mass migrations. Water shortages. Need I go on — all running like a river raging underground. Beneath the surface. A close friend and co-author, A. G. Hayes, recounted yesterday that it feels a lot like it did in England just before the outbreak of WWII, but there are few people today who can say they were around back then to feel anything.
What does it all mean? Forge into the future with THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor, a Sci-Fu (science-based futuring) classic and Amazon genre bestseller, available in printed, digital or audio format, eventually in manga, animation and/or cinematic format thanks to the K. Simmons Productions extended treatment rights purchase.
Set in the near future, THE EDGE OF MADNESS explores the evolving relationships between three friends, all of whom know little to nothing about their past and even less about their futures. What they do know is that each is unusually gifted: Rob, an uber-conscious male with an enhanced sense of smell; Frann, an ostentatious gay male with an Olympian physique and appetite for the erotic; and Andry, a brilliant moon-child and professional acronymeur with a decided taste for Wicca…and both her two male friends.
THE EDGE OF MADNESS is an exploration of a fully probable future, where every hedonistic pleasure is available — if one can afford it. But as in Aldous Huxley’s BRAVE NEW WORLD and George Orwell’s 1984, citizens are watched carefully by emotionless “Enforcers” who show up anytime unusual events occur.
Like Huxley and Orwell’s works, THE EDGE OF MADNESS has something to say about almost everything present and future. But it’s also a love triangle and a coming-of-age story of three youths in a future where anything and everything is possible. The ultimate question for them is: Can true love and personal sanity be found in such a world?
This story will make some excited about what the future may hold while others may recoil at a world of such extremes. Either way, it’s an engaging ride in a world where, for example, teachers and students study exclusively by distance appearing holographically together in digital classrooms while remaining safely at home, begging the question of what, if anything, in this future world is “real.” Put on your CandyShades, breathe in a little ContraSpray and settle back for a T-rip like never before.
