Description

A Free Man is a satirical tale presented as the drug and alcohol fuelled conversation of two old friends getting reacquainted. It's also a time travel story about a future where the world is ruled by robots and humans are vermin. When timelines cross, the world as we know it bends...Skid Roe is completely self-absorbed and delusional. His struggle to exercise free will is hampered by the rules of contemporary life. He's both aided and hindered by Lem, a robot from the future whose good intentions leave Skid on the run from a shadowy state security agency.

Reviews

"If you've ever wondered what the embittered literary love child of Philip Roth and Kurt Vonnegut might look like, then search no further than Michel Basilires." -- Toronto Star
