Big God Network

Dec 15, 2009 1:29 PM

“Finally a new satirical post-cyberpunk SF voice with elements of William Gibson, Neal Stephenson and the added dimensions of Tom Robbins.” –Grant Garden, Amazon U.K.

J.C. McGowan's science-fiction debut The Big God Network blends the wry humor of Kurt Vonnegut with the cosmic scope of Carl Sagan and the edgy near-future scenarios of William Gibson. The novel explores the clash of culture and religion in cyberspace and post-America; the search for extraterrestrial intelligence and higher powers; and the socio-cultural impact of "virtual life" on our existence, as it takes us on an imaginative, breathless ride through Bali, Tokyo, California, and exotic virtual worlds that range from the fantasy realm of Nigh Errant to the erotic Yabyum Palace to the evangelical Church of the Good Citizen.

Hail, Offworld!

By popular request, we reprint this ode to your favorite antagonist [aerial shot of RE-VO: "Damn you, Jawbone!]...

F%$CKING BIG GOD
by RE-VO
Bros and sisters, Great Big Jesus!
There's a God who always pleases.
F%$cking huge, he'll never fail you,
though he'll tithe, tax, and assail you.
Azure skies and puffy clouds,
hordes of horsemen, voices loud.
We thank God for the cavalry,
the might behind the calvary.
In waves of Southern chivalry,
and antebellum misery.
The awestruck man falls to his knees,
and begs to God above, "Oh, please,"
then dances 'round in ecstasy,
and babbles incoherently.
My spiritual proclivities
and purchasing abilities
are known to all the BGN,
and thus, I leave the world of men.
I sometimes find it very odd
to worship such a great Big God.
But then I hear hypnotic tones
of one named Reverend John Jawbone,
and all is well, my fear is gone,
... even though I'm being conned.

Wishing you a Cosmogaian Thanksgiving, space-brothers and sisters.
As the stars will have it,
RE-VO

Hail, Kuiper John...

Thank you, as always, for all your assistance in making us feel welcome at Andromeda station, and for organizing, along with Io and Callisto, the details of our rather-complicated rider for the Galactus gig.
Due to Manny's wide scope of eccentricities and changing moods (schizoid neurosis), it seems that our contract rider has grown exponentially in recent years, and I do apologize for all of the bizarre requirements (DVDs of "Match Game" and "Family Feud" from prior to 1979 [crush on Richard Dawson], any films starring Hedy Lamarr or Tippi Hedren [fetish], Evian mineral water with all the bubbles removed [difficult], a first edition of 'Dianetics' [pious], Langhe/Piedmont Alba truffles [feeling happy], and Mateus wine [self-hating]).

I thought that you handled Shatner very well. It was a great idea to share that bottle of Oban (his favourite single malt) with him... you may not remember this, but by the time you were through, he was hugging you, and saying, "I love you, man." Sickening, but effective.

As the stars will have it,
RE-VO

P.S. Deja vu all over again: have you seen Manny?
RE-VO

Aug 11, 2009 8:01 PM

Greetings, Kuiper John...

I trust that you are well, my friend. Looking forward to seeing you again at next week's Galactus.
Just wanted to give you the heads-up, though, so that you can double the security detail. Shatner never forgave you for putting him on the schedule just before Sally Simkin and the pneumatic Asian contortionists (wow... what a great act). As you'll recall, the fans, knowing that the gorgeous women were just backstage, were booing Shatner in the middle of his dramatic hip hop recitation from King Lear, and his set never really recovered. According to Linda Arroz, who goes to the same cheese shop as WS, he keeps muttering, under his breath, "I'm gonna get that Kuiper John, if it's the last thing I do." I know you can handle yourself just fine, but I thought you'd want to know, buddy.

As the stars will have it,
RE-VO

Thank you for adding me as your friend. I just finished the 20th episode for Confidential Encounters and I’m working on number 21 plus I'm preparing to direct the 2 hour pilot so I have to study those scripts while I write new stories. No one told me that the TV business could be so busy and yet fun. I’m really looking forward to becoming a director.

Hail, Kuiper John...

Thanks, as always, for all the communication regarding Galactus. Your people have been remarkably supportive to our group. We totally get the restriction on Dianetics literature backstage at Galactus, and we have strongly cautioned Manny about this.

There's an act to which I have acquired the American rights, and I wondered if I could bring this new singer along as a warm-up act for the RE-VO set. Please let me know about this.

Hail, Kuiper John...
Thanks for your recent communications regarding arrangements for the annual Galactus celebration. As before, the RE-VO band is honoured to be performing again.
You'll be pleased to know that, after his bender, last August, with William Shatner and other dangerous cronies, young Manfred seems to be curtailing his yageaholism, and has, at least for now, found Scientology. While we at Dreamland11 are even more deeply concerned about this bizarre trend than we were about his forays into vine trances, at least his self-destructive tendencies have given way to obnoxious proselytizing and mind-numbing sermons.... a good deal better for his health than the yage. However, his new-found friendship with Tom Cruise has resulted in considerable whooping and couch-jumping, and the Pop-Q of the RE-VO band did take a considerable hit in November, when Manny appeared on "The View" (one of the darkest days in the history of rock n' roll).
Still, we remain humbled and privileged at the idea of performing, once again, on White Mountain.
I will let you know the details of our rider in the coming weeks (e.g. Manny now requests that "Dianetics" be available in the Green Room... this may be a conflict of interest for Cosmogaians).
As The Stars will Have It,
RE-VO

Warning to all MySpace friends:

Once again, I am issuing a stern warning to all who read this. The evil genius J.C. McGowan, in the guise of a benign educator and science-fiction auteur, has now launched stage two of his diabolical master plan for world conquest. In order to fully understand this insidious plot aimed at Terran conquest, I strongly urge you to buy and carefully study his manifesto, The Big God Network. There you will find carefully encoded subliminal messages intended to stimulate alpha waves in readers, resulting in trance-like states of suggestability (caution: be sure to wear Offworld gogs while reading). Once in these trance states, BGN readers will tend to be very critical of media messages that promote consumerism, adopt eco-friendly lifestyles embracing Cosmogaian ideologies, and even reject essential technologies, such as computers and televisions. The brilliant criminal, McGowan, even fills his propaganda masterpiece with gorgeous young women, cybersex, and orgies (shame on him!) in order to entice young people to adopt his unAmerican ways.
Beware of the evil messages posited by this dangerous liberal (aka Gowan, Monsieur Juniper, and Chris McGowan).
Seek the truth! BUY HIS BOOK, THE BIG GOD NETWORK... before it's too late.

Concerned,
RE-VO

P.S. Happy New Year!
