Bøger i The General Buzz serien

If only fools think they can change the world, then a fool is the only one who can... Life doesn''t pick winners and losers. That''s for the corporations to decide. And they picked Liam Argyle for a carefree life of fame and fortune as host of the world''s most popular reality show competition. Unfortunately, Liam doesn''t do carefree. After two seasons of parading about the world''s biggest victims on The Grass is Greener, he''s been forced to put a happy face on one tragedy too many-and he won''t turn a blind eye to the horrors of the corporate dystopian world of the 2070s any longer.  Now, Liam is out to destroy the very people who made him a star. Even if he fails, he vows he''ll never be a feckless pawn of the industrial-military-entertainment-culinary-janitorial complex ever again! ...and this time, he means it.Riotously madcap and liberatingly hilarious, The Rude Eye of Rebellion is the sequel to sci-fi dark comedy Always Greener and the second book in the General Buzz series. 

In the year 2072, new technology allows the television to be broadcast straight into -- and out of -- the human eye. When a reality show offers a lifetime of lazy luxury to the one person living the world's worst life, everyone is out to prove just how bad they've got it. Eight contestants vie for the prize, allowing the whole world to see life through their eyes, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Only the show's ever-smiling host, an equally hopeful and hapless former weatherman, seems to have any faith left in humanity. Each week, he struggles behind the scenes as he attempts to elevate the show and wring meaning out of his own unhappy existence. "Both a sharp rebuke of where humanity is and a dire warning about where we may be headed." -Foreword Reviews Lawless's debut turns a satirical eye toward the voyeurism of reality television and the future of augmented reality." -Publishers Weekly "Lawless' clever novel reflects the present day's digital media voyeurism and Survivor/Big Brother exploitation... with an ultimately dark outlook on the amoral peddling of schadenfreude." -Kirkus Reviews "I was blown away. And oh man, it couldn't have ended more perfectly! I'm still giddy about it." -James Dashner, author of THE MAZE RUNNER
