Rob Reid
Year Zero
is a zany, humorous, and excellently written interpretation of the music world
today and all the ridiculous copyright rules that accompany it. A reader of Rob
Reid’s book will be immersed in an unbelievably imaginative and hilarious
sci-fi world ringing with a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy-like tone. The story follows Nick Carter, a struggling
music copyright lawyer who is visited by two otherworldly strangers. They’ve
come to Earth with hopes of finding legal help in order to offset the massive
fines that the aliens of distant galaxies have accumulated from years of
pirating Earth’s music (because, of course, although other species may be more
technically advanced, humans are the only species in existence that has good
music). The book’s satire invites the reader to seriously ponder certain
absurdities of the music industry today, while also taking the reader to a fun,
enjoyable world. This is a great read for any sci-fi or music lover!
