One Of Us

Michael Marshall Smith


A very enjoyable and extremely funny book. Set 30 years into the future, it describes various innovations that have become commonplace such as the transference of dreams and memories from one mind to another. Machines have also been developed in "bio-machines" which have human feelings. The narrator has managed to upset his answerphone by throwing away his coffee machine and in the course of the book he is also pursued by a discarded alarm clock and insulted by a cash dispenser. Doreen described the book as "totally mad but highly recommended".
