The Night Mayor

'''Newman, Kim. The Night Mayor.''' London: Simon & Schuster (UK), 1989.

Future information technology allows the media to "hook directly into people's nervous systems." In a satiric extrapolation of Hollywood, "Dreamers" of the future are hacks who "assist experience-synthesizing computers" presenting plots and characters. Rev. Brian Stableford, SFRA Newsletter #186 (April 1991): 51, source for this entry, and quote. See also SF&FBR 1990: 384, for Michael A. Morrison's characterization of NM's future as "cyberpunkish."
