The Suicide Machines

The Suicide Machines The 100-word synopsis: ‘In an overcrowded London, civilisation is breaking down. A radical solution is offered in the form of neighbourhood Suicide Machines, installed across the city to quickly, painlessly and legally reduce the spiraling population. As clients volunteer to die for money, suspicions arise that the machines have other, more sinister purposes. A diverse group of characters with a variety of vested interests and motivations are drawn into a web of media manipulation, political corruption, uncontrollable technology and moral bankruptcy. Vividly depicting an all-too-plausible alternative future, The Suicide Machines addresses classic issues of duty, honour and redemption in a fatally wounded society.’ Published by ROBOT PARROT Books, 2017 Illustration: Machine No. 337, Islington
