Extreme Paranoia: Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Shot
There have been Brave New World, 1984, A Clockwork Orange, Bill the Galactic Hero, and Brazil. Now, there is the long-awaited, completely unauthorized (and, for the most part, totally unrelated) successor to these works about future societies:
EXTREME PARANOIA
The novel of a darkly humorous future
Imagine a world designed by Kafka, Stalin, Orwell, Huxley, Sartre and the Marx Brothers...
In the world of Paranoia, a well-meaning but deranged computer desperately protects the citizens of an underground warren from all sorts of real and imagined enemies.
In the Year of The Computer 194, A.B.O. (After the Big Oops), Troubleshooters find it almost impossible to complete their mission. Our hero and Team Leader Homer finds it no different. Is it ...
... because this time around his mission is to assassinate the elite, untouchable High Programmer Whatta-U-SAY? Maybe!
... becauseof the sneaky strategies of the secret societies that are everywhere? Could be!
... because of the machine machinations of Our Friend, the all-seeing, all-knowing Computer? Never!
... because it takes Homer out of his Complex and into the awesome landscape of the "Outside"? Are you kidding?
... because the rebellious robot Spartacus is leading all the servicebots in an attempted coup of Alpha Complex? No way!
Whatever the reason, Homes is determined to complete his mission. You see, if he fails it's treason, punishable by termination. He's got to succeed. The Computer will see to that!
Remember the Troubleshooter code: Stay Alert! Trust No one! Keep your lader handy!
