2048: A Diary - James E. Cherry

Struggling Londoner Ignatius Fumbo's dream of rock stardom appears unreachable as he cracks up and lands in a mental asylum. While recovering, he meets burnt-out musical genius Bedford Vann. Fumbo's life swivels to the beat when they form a band and take on the world. Confused by the band's birth pains, Fumbo flees his mates in order to sort things out, embarking on a walkabout through a future England that acquaints him with a series of subcultures festering in a troubled society. \2048: A Diary\..
