World War Q

Rate this book
…in real life, in this universe, the “Turner Diaries,” a tome of white supremacist drivel, inspired numerous hate crimes and acts of terrorism around the world, including the 1984 assassination of liberal radio host Alan Berg, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and the 1999 London nail bombings. The Anti-Defamation League identified the “TurnerDiaries” as, “probably the most widely-read book among far-right extremists; many [of them] have cited it as the inspiration behind their terrorist organizing and activities.”

“WorldWarQ” is the fun-house mirror reflection of that book, the ironic and often absurd record of Duke Turner and his pro-freedom, counter-culture rebellion against the ultranationalist demagogue President of the United States (known colloquially as “The Man”) and his overlords, the Illuminati. After arrest and torture by The Man’s Qanon conspiracy hugging minions, Duke joins the ranks of the Illuminati’s ancient foe—the fun-loving and free-spirited Discordians. They show Duke a vision of the wondrous Age of Aquarius, a world of Freedom, Joy, and Equality, and Duke’s singular talent—the brewing of the country’s best LSD—will open the door to it all. But the agents of the Illuminati are legion, and with a spy in their midst, time is running out forDuke, his team, and the world.

A surreal and, as it happens, prophetic romp through a fictional bizzaro world. Not to mention Jim McMurtry in such a great story would be almost unforgivable requiring the author to be banished to that Forgotten Coast. So he can write scripts. Best book I've read in a long time.

Written somewhere between Kerouac and Thompson, World War Q's satirical tone and fear-of-a-possible-future inducing narrative was more than a pleasant surprise to read. It shocked me into realizing what America's future could easily become unless good people are forever vigilant.
