My heartfelt thanks to Fontaine, whose help with editing Headless has gone above and beyond the call of duty. His own fine novel, Legacy, can be found at http://www.authonomy.com/books/27169/legacy/ and is well worth supporting.
Also Simon Van de Velde who provided me with the short pitch. http://www.authonomy.com/books/33368/the-benjamin-exhibition
In Headless I have attempted to satirize a society where self-gratification is the only virtue; in which everyone is indoctrinated from birth, via an empty and sadistic popular culture, that theirs is the greatest society ever; in which the achievements of their ancestors are ignored or derided while being taken for granted.
I started writing Headless last December due to being snowed in for a while. The freezing winter weather, confounding all the prophecies to the contrary, makes a major satirical contribution later in the book.
If you are kind enough to read part of my novel, please let me know what you genuinely think. I am not afraid of criticism, even harsh criticism.
Based on excellent feedback, I have made substantial changes in the past few days, especially since an unforeseen broadband problem kept me offline. The narrative is now in the first person.
I have recently rewritten the novel, especially chapters 1, 2 and 13. The earlier versions of these are placed at the end of the book for comparison, but I prefer the update.
