"Their faces were unafraid, eyes glowing with the anticipation of school-wide fame. In the dream I was not concerned for their safety. I watched one of my friends saddle himself into the black rubber seat like a fighter pilot strapping himself into a jet, the swing set so large for such little kids, and begin to pump himself into a massive pendulum, my friends aiding his velocity with hard pushes at the end of his downward arc, his feet pointing directly at the clouds overhead, higher and higher, the chains straining with metal whining right before I woke up."

Friends, thank you so much for the all the support over the years. I'm happy to announce that the updated version of Grid City Overload is now in Long Beach bookstores. If you can't make it to one of those locations, it's also available here: https://zq287.com/zq-287-place-to-buy-sh*t. Check it out:

Set in the fictional hub of Grid on the verge of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Grid City Overload swirls around three central characters: a budding uppers addict, an informational psychopath, and a schizotypal soda factory worker who believes he’s a fish.

Two interlocking conspiracies are slowly converging on this socially and psychologically vulnerable trio in a city designed to function as a pure technocracy. Fueled by an abruptly powerful political movement, the ubiquitous software company InfoZebra begins construction on a massive new corporate headquarters at the heart of Grid. At the same time, the legal rights to a dying woman’s head are called into question. Between the two is a prodigiously skilled hacker who transforms both situations into scandals, upending the city and ensnaring the people around her, both knowing and unknowing.

The result is a journey into the minds of the citizens, and objects, of Grid, including dissident cultists, highstrung partiers, anti-identity authors, a retired hitman, tech tycoons, and a sentient phone torn by love and revolution. This surrealistic and intricate novel, the second installment in a triptych about technology and madness, paints a psychological portrait of high-tech civilization struggling to keep up with its own advancements, stumbling into an era in which human beings are abstract and reality takes on a new meaning.
