Evolution: Or, the Sayonara Song

By Frank Arricale

Book Overview

"The new Year 0 had just begun and leashes were all the rage. What was so recently a daring accessory of the rich and trendy was now a staple among the masses. 'So you'll always know where your mind is' was perhaps the most ubiquitous of marketing slogans, appearing on ZV's and message boards everywhere."

Although revolving largely around the mundane and inane elements of future (or is it current?) society, Evolution is essentially concerned with time, life, and love, and how annoying they can all be. Alternately funny and poignant, often both simultaneously, Evolution may reasonably be seen as either a comedy with tragic elements or a tragedy with comic elements, depending upon your existential point of view and what you had for breakfast.

You may at times have difficulty deciding whether Evolution is best understood as a meaningless farce or a cautionary tale, a biting satire or a sentimental memoir. Of course, the question then becomes: Why are you always thinking about boxes?
