This one popped onto my radar thanks to a friend. Its very very good. Quite a short read probably won't take me long.
Synopsis
It's a brave new world. 'My name is Kyle Straker. And I don't exist anymore.' So begins the story of Kyle Straker, recorded on to old audio tapes. You might think these tapes are a hoax. But perhaps they contain the history of a past world...If what the tapes say are true, it means that everything we think we know is a lie. And if everything we know is a lie does that mean that we are, too?
What I love is the "inserts". Its basically, whoever is around has turned the audio tapes into a "book". At the beginning is an explanation of what a book is as they don't exist anymore. Then you get Kyle's story. But as he talks, the "editor" puts inserts in to explain what he's talking about - BUT from the point of view of the world now. The one on what the "Teletubbies" are is inspired. Very humerous, very dark as well and I have NO IDEA what is going on - but there is a sequel 1.4 that I have downloaded ready in anticipation....
