Mime Lung Music Festival, Jeffrey A Brick, Blueberry Kale Yoga Books, 2017
Most of this book is a memoir. The author works in the health field, and the Marketplace (through the Affordable Care Act) is about to open. He has become infatuated with a female electronic music artist who goes by the name of Tokimonsta. He follows her around the country, and figures that the best way to publicize the Marketplace at her performances is to wear a t-shirt with its web address, and dress like a mime. Maybe someone will remember him.
The scene suddenly shifts to a few decades from now. People's brains still function, but their bodies are dead, or in something like suspended animation. He is in a sort of virtual reality world with a woman called MagnoliaRex. Their time together is rapidly disappearing.
Here is a really good story about movies, science fiction, electronic music and love. It's just strange enough, without being too strange.
