This is a book that would never be published by any reputable publishing house. It is an unashamedly anti-woke, anti-globalist work of fiction, written to be suitable for teenagers up to adults of almost all dispositions.

The world is split between the Great Bubble and the Outlands. In the Bubble there is no cash and the =phone is literally the lifeblood of the Bubblers; without it, one can do almost nothing. No paying for food, no travelling, no access to one's home.

The man who invented the =phone lives in Limbo in between both worlds. He saw his mistake. He saw what was coming. He feels sorely responsible.

This man has two main missions: to win back the love of his life and to destroy the Bubble.

Completely.

A comedy with a touch of the abyss will lead you through a rather silly fantasy, based on a parallel version of our current world (2026).

See you on the other side...
