John Lakerman, alternative current affairs journalist for donkeyWolf media, is sent to participate and report on a clinical trial for a newly developed biopharmaceutical antidepressant. While researching the article, and the disappearance of its lead researcher, Lakerman is drawn into a complex world of body augmentations, migrant labour, billionaires, a Virtual Reality Game and a series of fatally seductive mutations.
How I Killed The Universal Man is a transhumanist noir taking place in a near future where environmental disaster and the advent of biological A.I. is leading to the radical reorganisation of consciousness. A narrative about the unknown forces structuring narrative's necessity, How I Killed The Universal Man begins from the premise that reality is always virtual.
