Big time
Prosser, Jordan2024
Book
In a not-too-distant future Australia, the eastern states have become the world's newest autocracy: a place where pop music is propaganda, science is the enemy, nationalism trumps all, and moral indecency is punishable by indefinite detention. When Julian Ferryman, bass player for the Acceptables, returns to Melbourne after a year overseas, he reconnects with his band as they prepare to record and tour their highly anticipated second album, and is given his first taste of a new designer drug, F, a powerful synthetic hallucinogen that gives users a glimpse of their own future. Rumour says, the more you take, the further you see, maybe even to the end of time. "Big Time" is an anti-fascist ode to the power of pop music and a satire about art in the face of entropy, all wrapped up in an unforgettable road trip.
