This is a shameless self-promotion for my magickal/satirical
electronic book:

BREAKS: The Adventures of Richard Nixon in the 21st Century

It is a spoof of cyberpunk literature and techno-magickal culture that
extrapolates on the future of magickal orders into the 21st
century. It has been uploaded to a number of places on the internet,
including the Science Fiction Library on America Online... Here's the
description that accompanied some of the uploads:


> BREAKS: The Adventures of Richard Nixon in the 21st Century by
> Philip H. Farber

> An electronic novel.

> Early in the 21st century, Richard Nixon is awakened from a coma to
> find that he has been rejuvenated to the physical age of 23.. and
> re-elected President of the United States. He quickly realizes that
> the presidency doesn't mean what it used to. Politics as a
> profession has ceased to exist and millions have migrated into space
> to join a growing techno-pagan culture. Nixon immediately blames the
> space-travelers for the depleted state of the U.S.A.  and pledges
> economic and military action against them...

> BREAKS is a twisted spoof of cyberpunk literature by nationally
> published journalist Philip H. Farber (Mondo 2000, High Times,
> Future Sex, and the New York Times best-selling history books
> Chronicle of the 20th Century and Chronicle of America, among
> others). BREAKS is funny, erotic, metaphysical and downright
> dangerous.

> The text of this version is fundamentally the same as the text-file
> version previously uploaded, however it is now saved as an
> electronic novel which features full-color graphics for VGA,
> scrolling with mouse or keyboard, a bookmark feature, on-line help,
> and more. It was developed for DOS... if it is in any way
> incompatible with your system, e-mail PStuart@aol.com for help. We
> aim to please.
