REALITY-TV PUR Das interaktive Fernsehen hat seinen Höhepunkt erreicht: eine stehende Verbindung zum Hauptdarsteller einer Lieblingsserie ist möglich geworden. Millionen können sein Schicksal rund um die Uhr mit ihm teilen, seine Gefühle »live« miterleben, mit ihm leiden und lachen und glücklich sein. Und der Deal mit dem Publikum bringt den Darstellern ein Vermögen ein. Doch Sandy Figueroa aus der beliebten Figueroa-Familie hat das Geschäft gründlich satt. Im Gegensatz zu seiner Schwester, die sogar ihr ungeborenes Baby im Mutterleib schon für Reality-TV präperieren läßt, möchte er aus dem Medienrummel aussteigen. Doch das ist für einen »Verdrahteten« nicht einfach, vor allem, wenn aus dem Reality-TV durch verrückte Anhänger einer blutrunstigen Sekte schaurige Realität wird. Eine brillante, bissige Satire über die Macht und die Idiotie der Medien und die Sensationsgier eines sattsam verblödeten Publikums. Heyne Science Fiction Deutsche Erstausgabe
