Summary |
I love a sunburnt dystopia. Straya lies in ruins. A once proud nation, former Australia has regressed into a patchwork civilization cowering under the deadly heat of a merciless sun. Savage violence lurks around every corner. Good pubs, but. Affable young mutant, Franga, risks life and double-jointed limb to help provide for his makeshift family of mutie kids and increasingly senile friend and mentor, Ken Ages. After finding a strange artifact in the deadly Downlow district, Franga inadvertently starts a horrifying chain reaction... Something terrifying takes form in New Sydney. A colossal beast rises, as unspeakably powerful as it is malevolent, and if Franga and his crew of misfits can't stop it? Then all of Straya is completely farked. Set in a futuristic Australia desperately coping with inequality, racism and the effects of climate change, Straya balances canny social allegory with subversive wit and an oddly optimistic sense of hope. |
