American Daydream is a synergistic novella penned through the collective efforts of J. Martin Strangeweather, Tagert Ellis, J. G. McClure, Martina Hutchins, L. Joyce Morel, Justin Lee, Brennan Roach, Lance Boyle, and Mr. F%!#@. This mind-bending work consists of twelve interrelated short stories, each of which involves psychics and game shows, representing a literary genre best described as "mediatized realism." The formula is simple: nine cutting-edge imaginations + one character with the power of persuasion + any game show the author chooses = a penetrating reflection of the U.S. zeitgeist during the early 21st century. Warning: this literature possesses psychic abilities. If you experience sudden changes in memory and behavior while reading any portion of this work, consult a witch doctor immediately. All proceeds from the sale of this book go to the Santa Ana Public Library.
