I’ll leave it to future scholars to dissect the symbolism there, I don’t want to spoil it for them. But you can jump right in with this one, no book of mine requires reading any previous book, I know people are busy.Īnd is there a reason why Zoey punches the future in the genitalia as opposed to the facial region or the gastrointestinal tract?
It takes place a few months after the first book ends, starring the same characters. So they’re fighting stupidity with insanity and it works out about as well as you’d expect.Īnd then what is Zoey Punches The Future In The Dick about, and how does it connect, both narratively and chronologically, to the Futuristic Violence And Fancy Suits? Zoey is thus forced to work with her father’s old inner circle, whose only superpower is their ability to spread calculated misinformation and stage outlandish hoaxes using PSYOPS tricks. Now someone is selling black market technology that grants superpowers to the city’s least qualified citizens and, as a result, things are threatening to spin (further) out of control. The protagonist is Zoey Ashe, a young woman from a trailer park who, through a series of unlikely and frankly implausible events, finds herself at the head of her dead father’s vast criminal empire in the futuristic city of Tabula Ra$a.
These books take place in a future so surreal and chaotic that it’s only about 15% less stupid than our present. In the following email interview, Wong discusses what inspired and influenced what we can’t help but assume is a wild and weird novel.įor people who didn’t read the first book in the Zoey Ashe series, Futuristic Violence And Fancy Suits, who is Zoey, what is this series about, and when and where do these stories take place? But you’d forgiven for doing just that with David Wong’s new comedic sci-fi novel Zoey Punches The Future In The Dick ( hardcover, Kindle), the second book in his Zoey Ashe series after 2015’s Futuristic Violence And Fancy Suits. And, it stands to reason, by its title, either. They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.
