Noon, Jeff: Automated Alice. 30443
Doubleday: London. 1996.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Uncorrected book proof (trade paperback).
''follows the adventures of Alice as she climbs through a clock's workings and gets transported into fantastic adventures in modern day Manchester. Taken purely as an adult sequel to `Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and `Through The Looking-Glass' this is a fantastic achievement, with Noon brilliantly aping Lewis Carroll's style and sharing a love of puns, wordplay and nonsense with Harry Trumbore's internal illustrations matching the style of Tenniel's original pictures. Noon has great fun introducing Alice to such modern day concepts as computers and quantum mechanics while skewing things in typically nonsensical fashion (so civil servants become Civil Serpents while the Cheshire Cat is transformed into a chameleonic Quark) while the device of Alice hunting down missing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle drives the story in much the same way as the chess game drives `Through the Looking-Glass'. When read as a sequel to Noon's earlier shared-world novels VURT(1993) and POLLEN (1995) however the book takes on an additional resonance, with Alice's earlier appearance in POLLEN given additional background while the plotline takes in the `disease' responsible for the merging of humans and animals in the Noon's future world, with plenty of sly winks towards the feather-accessed VURT. Read either way this is a fantastic novel, filled with bizarre imagery, wordplay and metafiction, but to really get the most from it you should read both Noon and Carroll's earlier works first.''

Noon, Jeff: Nymphomation. 00490
Doubleday: London. 1997.
First edition (& 1st printing).
''returns to the near-future Manchester of his first two books, Vurt and Pollenand sees Noon’s unique writing style hit its most frenetic peak on the cardiac monitor so far. Located somewhere between William Gibson and Philip K. Dick’s nightmare noir future visions, Noon brings a peculiarly English sensibility and a twisted sense of humour to the cyberpunk genre. NYMPHOMATION also adds deadly satire to Noon’s arsenal: the near future Manchester has become obsessed with the new citywide lottery game Domino Bones. Players purchase a handful of dominoes and every Friday night the winning numbers are illuminated on the body of the voluptuous figurehead of the game, Lady Luck. For the winner, it is unimaginable riches, for the loser another week to wait for the bones to fall again. But there is only one winner, The Company, who play the city’s fragile expectations with callous ease. For British readers, this will all sound uncomfortably familiar, especially as the excesses of the National Lottery are coming under increasing scrutiny'' (Chris Mitchell).
