The Printed Threat

The Printed Threat takes place in a polluted world where there is a war on terror, a war on drugs, a war on homelessness, and a war on words. The Printed Threat is the story of the first book dealer in history. Formerly a hobbyist book collector and marijuana dealer, Tom Burrwick becomes a book dealer after the publication The Theory and Practice to E.S.P. and the subsequent laws regarding reading material are instituted. The Printed Threat is a postmodern allegory set in New York City post institutionalization of Orwellian information control. After the The and Practice to E.S.P. was published and people began to intuitively recognize lies. The book was banned as were many others, and all information, news, fiction, poetry and so on became strictly regulated.
