This novel is a punk lovers dream. The representation and history of the genre is explored, issues of the day are spoken about between characters with passion, and throughout the book we begin to see the implosion of this once tight knit band. They all have backstories which are relatable to a lot of people and you'll find it hard not to be sympathetic towards their individual opinions about where they're headed. There's no one right answer and that's what makes it so compelling as the tour kicks off and things start getting more and more
out of control. This is a book written with love of punk, a build up to something terrifying, and lots of great flawed but likeable characters. I

A coffee machine robot narrates and footnotes my sci-fi detective comedy. “Sure to appeal to fans of Douglas Adams, this zany, uproarious mystery is a constant delight.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) www.amazon.com/Great-Americ... scottsteinonline.com/books/the-gr...

screenshot from https://scottsteinonline.com/books/the-great-american-deception/

Private detective Frank Harken could really, really use a cup of coffee.
Can you blame him?
His new case features a missing woman, a flaky client, a cranky security officer, a mysterious assassin, an overbearing mob boss, an ice-cold enforcer, and the best mini-golf the world has ever seen. Did we mention the fate of millions is at stake?

“Stein delivers a madcap sci-fi take on the hard-boiled detective genre in this fun, near-future romp that’s chock-full of rapid-fire wit, tongue-in-cheek literary allusions, and playful futuristic absurdity… Stein keeps the stakes high and the laughs coming … Sure to appeal to fans of Douglas Adams, this zany, uproarious mystery is a constant delight.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Get ready for some super great fun! The Great American Deception is a hilarious (and deeply disturbing) voyage through a futuristic netherworld of caffeinated robots and diet pizza. Somewhere—possibly nowhere—Douglas Adams is sighing pleasurably with a combination of approval and afterlife indigestion.”
—Gary Shteyngart, author of Little Failure and Lake Success

“The Great American Deception is by far the most enjoyable novel told from the point of view of a futuristic coffee machine I have ever read!”
