Symphony of a Thousand Novel From Zero

146 pages - paperback $10

Fire reads this faster than you can. It starts in your walls and in the back of your brain but soon it has spread to the front of your TV screen.

Philo T. Faustus, inventor of television and scholar in the field of viewer research, becomes a TV celebrity himself in Symphony of a Thousand Novel from Zero. President Mephisto of Helmart Companies leads him into the brave new lifestyle of TV immortality, with help from Producer Josie Gretchen, who develops a TV drama based on his life.
