<p>The Dark Yergall is one of the dystopian classics of the post-9/11 period. First published in 2002, the Wiktionary quotes The Dark Yergall  to illustrate usage of the word 'sexbot'. The Dark Yergall tells the story of a journalist, Nosir Rag, who searches through InfoMod looking for clues to the disappearance of a long dead philosopher, Sarmus. Nosir believes Sarmus might hold the key to ending the mind-numbing commercialism and stifling superficiality of the Imkass Empire. In his quest for knowledge of Sarmus, Nosir learns that mysterious aliens, known as Yerggs, are using the corruption of the Imkass Empire to help them secure control of the universe. With the help of non-sanctioned information known as DefectoMod, Nosir and his friends attempt to escape from a government bent on destroying them and their dark discovery. Read The Dark Yergall and learn how friendship can survive in a world brainwashed by advertising, and how purchasing a sexbot does not always turn out as one might expect.</p>

The Suburban Vaistes

Three short stories explore the video game as metaphor. The Naifs delves into the unsettling rituals of a sterile Virtual Reality world that veers dangerously away from its connection with nature. Don't You Believe Me follows a time traveler who journeys through time battling a mysterious and devastating adversary. He eventually lands in an arcade where a video game is being played for the survival of humanity. Lastly, Hysterica is a story of rapacious consumerism and the dizzying sense of value it bestows upon us. These stories will have you thinking about video games-and life-in ways you never have before.
