The Man Who Japed
Autor Philip K. Dicken Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mai 2012
Following
a
devastating
nuclear
war,
the
Moral
Reclamation
government
took
over
the
world
and
forced
its
citizens
to
live
by
strictly
puritanical
rules—no
premarital
sex,
drunkenness,
or
displaying
of
neon
signs—all
of
which
are
reinforced
through
a
constant
barrage
of
messaging
to
the
public.
The
chief
purveyor
of
these
messages
is
Alan
Purcell,
next
in
line
to
become
head
of
the
propaganda
bureau.
But
there
is
just
one
problem:
a
statue
of
the
government’s
founder
has
been
vandalized
and
the
head
is
hidden
in
Purcell’s
closet.
In
this
buttoned-up
society,
maybe
all
a
revolution
needs
is
one
really
great
prank
.
