Retail Island

Was it something in the air - or the air-conditioning? Something strange is going on at the office of multinational pharmaceutical company, Medico, and the adjacent new retail park. Robert Ashton is hired to work on the mysterious Project Mushroom and finds himself in the middle of a strange and dangerous situation involving mind control, riots, bad science, and sexual deviance. A taut dystopian thriller in the tradition of JG Ballard, 'Retail Island' is dark and perverse, a commentary on consumerism, and an unsettling tale of modern times.
