Global warming, violence, pollution, virtual film stars, dispossessed
urchins . . . Here it is again. Philip Gross鈥檚 Psylicon Beach, with its recycled
flotsam and jetsam of ideas, is set in a sort of dystopian Centre Parcs. The bin
bag of characters rush aimlessly from one near-death experience to the next.
You鈥檒l end up sighing with relief when a significant percentage meet their
maker. Published by Scholastic Press, 拢5.99,
