The Head [eTale] By James Lovegrove

TITLE: The Head

AN ETALE by James Lovegrove

PUBLICATION DATE: April 2011

This story appeared in James Lovegrove's short story collection Diversifications by PS Publishing.

When I’m not bleating on about the imminent end of civilisation as we know it, I’m usually bemoaning the ubiquity and predominance of modern technology.  The world isn’t necessarily a better place, you know, just because we’re all Bluetoothed up and Sky-plussed in and satnavved down.  Mobile phone?  Pah!  Who needs one?  Really needs one?

And that, in a nutshell, is what “The Head” is all about.  Interzone’s March 2002 issue got first dibs on it, and then the story reappeared, magically translated into Greek, in 9, a supplement given away with the Saturday edition of Hellenic newspaper Eleutherotypia.  9 contains comic strips, SF, interviews with genre authors, articles about comics creators – and it’s published as part of a national periodical.  Can you imagine such a thing happening in the UK?  Didn’t think so.
