Beschreibung
America, 2021: an alien known as the Daft One washes ashore in Florida, arriving on a particular planet undergoing strange times.
The only knowledge the Daft One has of earth comes from the Internet, where daily life and technology mix in startling, violent ways. However, rather than finding existence "on the ground" to be more serene and logical, the Daft One befriends the son of a Q-Anon supporting State Representative and finds himself in a country torn along political lines amidst conflicting realities.
When the Daft One saves the State Representative from a shooter, his launch to American stardom through his quick trigger finger and acerbic tongue catapults him and his friends through a world where the Internet and daily life merge, resulting in a terrifyingly real odyssey based in satire, celebrity, and connection, with consequences both shockingly absurd and stunningly human.

Über den Autor
Karl Michael "K.M." Dehmelt is a writer and a graduate of the Loyola University Maryland Writing program in Baltimore who has lived everywhere from Coopersburg, Pennsylvania to Madrid, Spain. Originally from the East Coast of the United States, his fourth book, and science fiction debut, Daft Mejoräs Infinite Madness (Or How to Travel Near America with Friends), has been favorably compared to Kurt Vonnegut. Currently, he is early at work on multiple projects, including more long-form satire, as well a non-fiction project related to his experience as a survivor of a traumatic brain injury and the complexities of navigating the world with a brain he newly learned has been altered from the healing process. He is grateful for his writing, his life, his family, and his true friends.
