Jasper Keepnews thinks his life is as normal as can be. That is until he becomes obsessed with The Dreamachine, a hypnotic 60s-era device popular with The Beat Generation. As it lures Jasper into the shadows of his mind, he discovers his own sordid past, as well as visions of a shocking future that involves a mysterious woman’s death. That is when Jasper's reality begins to unravel—while he races to find this woman, the government races to find him. Their most dangerous sleeper assassin is awake and they want their property back.In the era of “fake news” and the unending 24-hour news cycle, this sci-fi thriller pierces the heart of modern America. The clandestine practice of mind control is the driving force behind a near-future landscape that’s unnervingly similar to our own. The brainwashing techniques first developed by the CIA in the 1950s have evolved at light speed for the 21st century. This nightmarish funhouse of a novel harkens back to the drug-fueled paranoia and failed promises of The Beat Generation. The Dreamachine, once meant to replace the television in living rooms all over the world, serves as the prototype for the most effective brainwashing technique a modern government has ever used against its citizens.***William Dickerson is an award-winning filmmaker and author. His debut feature film Detour, which he wrote and directed, was hailed as an 'Underground Hit' by The Village Voice, an 'emotional and psychological roller-coaster ride' by The Examiner, and nothing short of 'authentic' by The New York Times. His first novel, No Alternative, was declared, 'a sympathetic coming-of-age story deeply embedded in '90s music' by Kirkus Reviews. He recently adapted No Alternative into a motion picture starring Michaela Cavazos, Conor Proft, Chloe Levine, Kathryn Erbe and Harry Hamlin.
