Big Time - Jordan Prosser

In the not-too-distant future, Australia''s eastern states have become the world''s newest autocracy - a place where pop music is propaganda, science is the enemy and moral indecency is punished with indefinite detention. Julian Ferryman, bass player for the Acceptables, returns to Melbourne after a year overseas and reconnects with his bandmates as they prepare to record their hotly anticipated second album. On a whirlwind tour of the east coast, he gets hooked on a new designer drug, F, a powerful synthetic hallucinogen that gives users a glimpse of their own future. Rumour says, the more you take, the further you see... maybe even to the end of time. Meanwhile, the outside world is gripped by an escalating pandemic of ''extreme coincidences'' and temporal anomalies: identical football matches played sixty years apart, cancer patients reporting visions of the afterlife, and other world-altering events that all point back to the Acceptables'' mysterious second - and final - album. BIG TIME is an addictive debut about different forms of time travel: the people in our lives, the art we make together, the moments and movements that will live on long after we''re gone. It''s a psychedelic road trip across a dystopian Australia, through a world on the brink of temporal collapse, and out to the furthest reaches of time and space.
