What would you do if you discovered your life was the subject of a soap opera watched by celestial beings? In "Fandom of the Operator," Gary Cheese finds out exactly that, leading to a surreal quest for self-discovery that involves time travel, god-like TV producers, and a slew of oddball characters.
Rankin turns reality on its head, breaking the fourth wall and then some, as he explores the notion of life as entertainment for a higher power. Fans of SFcrowsnest who enjoy both sci-fi and existential musings wrapped in comedy will find this a delightful romp.
