Zone Trip, by former Mission District nightclub owner Kitty Turner, is a reimagining of the inception of the Suicide Club and the Cacophony Society set in the technologically advanced near future. Turner's close association with the founders of these culture-shaping art societies inspired the themes of this powerful work of fiction.
Countless real-life accounts of the principles and motivations of the Cacophony Society exist. Still, in nonfiction, much of the spirit and absurdity of this late-twentieth-century art movement has yet to be fully expressed. Not only does Turner's novel capture the feeling and energy of key events in the Bay Area's history, but the fast-paced technothriller brings to life an amalgamation of the eccentric and wonderful personalities of the San Francisco underground art scene.
Events reimagined in Zone Trip include
The 1977 Fort Point inception of the Suicide Club
The first billboard liberation on Mission Street
A reimagining of the 1990s club scene set in the 2030s
The Jejune experience
Black Rock Desert immersion experience
ZONE TRIP
Fight Club meets Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow in this debut technothriller.
Outlaw artists wage war on Big Tech to reclaim San Francisco for themselves.
Anarchist impresario Leo wages war on Bay Area Big Tech with his guerrilla art organization, the Chaos Order. After being arrested for sabotaging the virtual reality company HERE's property, Leo's closest followers, Evan and Lydia, take two different paths. Evan joins HERE to avoid legal consequences and to bring the spirit of the Chaos Order to the default world through a revolutionary immersive narrative game. Lydia plunges deeper into her relationship with the increasingly unstable Leo, whose revenge against Evan brings the Order into rising conflict with HERE. Told from Evan's and Lydia's alternating points of view, Zone Trip weaves through Leo's psychological manipulation of his followers, Evan's defection to the enemy's side, and the devastating consequences of Lydia's love for the Pan-like Leo.
Zone Trip is a unique technothriller that explores the intersection of society, technology, and protest. Inside, you will find a fast-moving plot and characters that are well-drawn and emotionally appealing.
Editorial Praise for Kitty Turner
"With the tech world currently waging a war on the arts, this book couldn't have come at a better time. Smart, thoughtful, searing, and fantastically written, ZONE TRIP acts as a call to the questions we need to be asking." — Rob Hart, author of The Warehouse
"I love your voice, the themes, and the characters. It's an incredible feat, and I know this book will delight readers." — Suzy Vitello, author of Faultland
"Your link between anarchism and absurdism is well-established. Leo seems to be a true anarchist in that his goal is the absurdity, the subversion of expectations, and the dismantling of the system in the name of free artistic expression." — Daniel DeCillis, Ph.D. of Philosophy
"Zone Trip is a haunting story that just breaks my heart. The immersive setting, colorful characters, sense of loss, and transcendence at the end? What a ride. It's Tom Robbins, Ken Kesey, and Max Barry filtered through a Chuck Palahniuk lens." — Richard Thomas, author of Spontaneous Human Combustion, a Bram Stoker Award finalist
"Active, urgent, and evocative." — Francesca Lia Block, author of Weetzie Bat
"You know who else loved your book? ME!! Great vividly lived-in characters, zesty prose, lovely twists and turns, and EXQUISITE CACOPHONY!" John Skipp, godfather of Splatterpunk
