Base Type Nil: The Adventures of Michelangelo

By Michel Kelly-Gagnon and Corentin Hunter

"On Friday morning, a little past eight, Michelangelo left his house after a hasty breakfast, took one step into the street, and was hit by a bus."
So begins Base Type Nil, a darkly humorous story about a man who wakes up in a cartoonish dystopia and has to navigate a civilization nearly destroyed by economic and moral fallacies, some of which are becoming more and more fashionable in today’s real world.
Follow Michelangelo as he takes on this woke new nightmare world one cricket stew at a time--and joins forces with the underground resistance movement. Will Michelangelo and the Vax Rejects manage to shut down the supercomputer responsible for brainwashing the population? The answer is in your hands.
