Description: "Ryan Oakley kicks all kinds of butt. This is the story Philip K. Dick would have written if he'd lived to today: over-the-top, incisively satirical, and packing a major wallop. The prose sings even as the story makes you squirm; underneath all the slickness and sickness there's a passionate human heart, beating so damn fast it warps space. Oakley is a supernova about to blow a major new talent ready to burst on the scene and with this, his first novel, he'll light up the entire sky." -- Robert J. Sawyer "Reading Ryan Oakley's writing is like being lit-jacked. Once Oakley's forty-five caliber prose is aimed between your eyes, you'll never forget it." -- Minister Faust "Oakley isn't so much concerned with what science fiction has been, but rather where it can go. And, unlike most of his contemporaries, he doesn't just write from his head, but from his gut. His work somehow manages to be both unsettling and deeply absorbing." -- Jeff Lemire, award winning DC graphic novelist "The consumerist mall-as-dystopia is not a wholly original idea, but I can't remember ever encountering one so unflinchingly brutal as Technicolor Ultra Mall. From the opening blaze of profanity-peppered violence to the bleak cataclysm of its conclusion, Oakley never eases the pressure, tearing aside the glossy veils of commerce to reveal the cynical profiteering beneath." -- Paul Raven, reviewer, Futurismic
