I’m really honored and delighted to have Mallworld, Incorporated featured on Dystopic.co.uk, one of the best and most prominent sites about dystopian fiction on the web. It’s run by Emily Babb, herself an author, who has an abiding love for dystopian and apocalyptic fiction. She’s been kind enough to post an excerpt and synopsis from the book. She says,
I don’t care what you think. No matter how increasingly bizarre the world gets, we’re always in need of another dystopian series. And as lockdown eases and shops begin to reopen in the UK, I think I’ve found the novel that might make you think twice about joining the queue for Primark.
In Jeffery Zavadil’s debut novel, Mallworld Incorporated, the planet isn’t doing too well. In fact, it’s so bad that society has had to be sealed inside a huge shopping mall. As a result, its inhabitants are overworked and consumed by consumption in a sort of totalitarian, Westfield-esque nightmare (not that malls aren’t nightmarish enough to begin with).
The premise of the Mallworld-ReBound trilogy is that a society dedicated to consumerism and capitalism is an empty, miserable, and ultimately destructive way of life. We’re going start seeing how people can change that in the second book, Mallworld, Inc.: Bound Together, which will be coming out soon. Stay tuned!
