If director Guy Ritchie’s 1960’s themed “The Man from UNCLE” film didn’t float your boat, why not tried this underground British sci-fi novel first published in the 1960s – The Final Programme by author Michael Moorcock. Titan Books is reprinting the adventures of rock star scientist Jerry Cornelius.
First, if you’re a little unfamiliar with Michael Moorcock’s writing style, the meanings and so on, writer John Clute intros the character Jerry Cornelius and his thoughts on British sci-fi writer Michael Moorcock’s 4 book collection. Jerry Cornelius’s brother Frank and the sexy evil Miss Brunner have concocted a plan to build the world’s ultimate super computer. Jerry Cornelius is the key to all this and his unique family background keeps things interesting.
As I kept reading, I had lots more head scratches and questions of what am I reading here? I do like the James Bond-style action and sexiness, but you’ll be scratching your head, “What the freak did I just read?” Fans of sci-fi abstract should enjoy Michael Moorcock’s The Final Programme. It’s like reading a Jackson Pollock painting.
