About this item
Survival Street is a unrepentant action satire tearing through a corporate-dominated dystopia.. After an unbridled wave of corporations take over America, the country is left completely deregulated and effectively carved up into feudal states where billionaires and businesses make their own laws. Among the wreckage, mass privatization shuts down public broadcasting forcing all the beloved edu-tainers out on the down and dirty streets. One group of them stick together, determined to keep helping kids across the country and do it by becoming an A-Team-esque band of mercenaries fighting for (and educating!) kids in the crumbling, corporate war zone of New Best America.. A candy coating of pop culture madness, humor, cartoonishly absurd hyper-violence, and just enough hope to keep holding on.
About the Author
A playwright, comedian, and comic book writer (with dabblings in other media when the opportunities arise) - James Asmus tends to focus on the vulnerabilities and humor inherent in his characters. But heartbreak and horror pop up a lot, too. A former citizen of Cleveland, New Orleans, Chicago, and Los Angeles (in that order) . Not sure how much of an influence that path has been, it's the kind of thing people mention in author bios.
