Braintape- clones drugs and rock and roll.
Authors Introduction
Braintape is a book set from the perspective of a nameless and unimportant protagonist who finds himself in a dark and quite mundane surrealist dystopian future set 10 years from now. Seeing the world through his lens we learn about how the life and the economy will go in the direction of digital enslavement through the creation of a new semi spiritual crypto currency called accrumency. Accrumency is created using a new process called skin encryption mining, only possible with a a real DNA skin. With the advice of a mysterious consultant by the name of MC info Solutions the protagonist finds a way to be the most successful crypto trader on the dry web. This lifestyle has very little benefits other than being a proxy for ever more criminal activities. these will lead him deeper in the world of shady crime syndicates and self replicating robot colonies, not to mention the Church of double Jesus and the modern day saints.
"My arrest was causing uproar across the planet. People were saying I should be extradited to the Dodecahedron, Pyramid Eye’s remote and secretive detention centre, as I had nearly destroyed the earth’s monetary system, caused the BLANK-wave epidemic and was behind the largest illegal robot colony in history............."
Braintape is dystopian and mash-up of pop cultural icons, financial services, crypto, computer gaming, clones, alternative religions with a side order of mind-altering substances. The aimless, nameless hero is enticed by a sumptuous business card to explore the world of accrumency. He creates a robot with the soul of Lord Byron and the body of a minor celebrity. With a knack of always following poor advice, he sets up an illegal self- replicating robot colony and becomes a wanted criminal hunted by the Global Secrecy Agency and the Church of Double Jesus. Who will catch him first?
He stages an ingenious escape, and on his travels learns of a prophecy of doom for the Galaxy. Eventually, with the help of an international criminal he meets on en route, our hero ends up at Eden Pharmaceuticals, where hallucinogenic drugs are manufactured on an industrial scale. There he becomes embroiled with a delusional Mantiloid being who dreams of founding a new religion and becoming God.
With the help of God's son, God is lured into retirement with some clever timing and a selfie stick and our hero is free to continue his travels, but what about the prophecy…………….?
About Braintape.
Braintape is my first science fiction novel and was written between 2015 and 2018. One day the idea of picking up a mysterious business card with a phone number on it popped into my head, and a began writing. over the next few weeks I relentlessly penned out the story and after that I spent the the best part of three years in my spare time filling in gaps and refining the story. I learnt how to write a novel with this novel and had no previous plans of ever being an author prior to writing it. The story just popped into my head and I just ran with it, that’s the best way of writing for me I believe . When I read it back now I cannot remember why Imade it way it is. I’m not ashamed of how much joy this story brings to me and I would often laugh out load as wrote it. I would consider it the funniest book i have ever read, because its exactly tailored to my sense of humour. Braintape is an extremely out there book and is experimental in its DNA. So far its the only known book in the subcategory of psy-fi meaning psychedelic finance. It captures all the funny, dark and ridiculous moments of my life previous and presents them from the often twisted perspective of an amoral genius protagonist who is just as lost in this dystopian world the story is set in as the reader.

The message of braintape is more relevant than ever and this book foreshadowed the rise of digital feudalism and the corona virus continued isolation we are suffering.
