Works of Fiction

Fiction · Sci-Fi

After a near-extinction-level event, the country appears back to normal. It is far from it. Strangers are still killing strangers over resources that are no longer in short supply — a psychological cancer eating away at the fabric of society.

In a post-modern world at the dawn of the transhuman age, can one man driving a beat-up van stop it? See the Show! tells the story of an unlikely pair: a gun-toting clown and his female AI sidekick. Alone, the two go up against those who would murder others in an undeclared stranger war.
