Overview
The Fantastic Lives of Johnny Wonderful is a dramatic (if somewhat tongue-in-cheek) science fiction tale about "Johnny", a young man of poor character who lives, with his robotic mother, in the ruins of the Old York megapolis. The people of his strange time survive as best they can under the omniscient rule of the EVERY-COM orbiting Skyscraper. From there, Holy Director Henry Wonderful rules over Earth, Mars and every other interplanetary colonies. The holy corporation’s edicts are enforced throughout the galaxy by war/peace; an inter-stellar military and police force. Over the span of 1,000 years, Johnny's multiple existences will take many surprising twists and turns as he will die and relive through a succession of uncanny personalities. From space war hero to intergalactic ruler; from interplanetary super-being to machine-man, whose fate is to ultimately survive humanity...
