Follow on Google News | "Cold Earth Wanderers" by Peter Wortsman (Pelekinesis, 2014)A science fiction novel set in a vertically-focused society where an underground group dares to venture sideways.
By: Pelekinesis "A darkly comic folktale for a dysfunctional future... Against the myth of mindless upward progress Wortsman pits the subversive grotesquerie of open-ended lateral exploration." "...as daft and delirious a dystopia as might be imagined..." "In Elgin, Wortsman (Ghost Dance in Berlin) has created a sympathetic individualist whose search for freedom rings true. Inevitable betrayal in a world of paranoia and mass complacency suggests that optimism may be the worst deceit of all... this intellectually provocative novel is worth a read." - Publishers Weekly Publication Date: November 7, 2014 Cold Earth Wanderers by Peter Wortsman (ISBN: 978-1-938349- More information and supplemental material is here: http://pelekinesis.com/ About the author Peter Wortsman is the author of 4 books including the travel memoir Ghost Dance in Berlin, winner of a 2014 Independent Publishers Book Award.
