Full Asylum

The economy has crashed (again), the Nanny State is out of control, and software engineer Gimbel O'Hare just wants to do his job. Not easy, given that his boss is out to get him, the Department of Justice has him under surveillance, and one of his co-workers is suing him for sexual harassment. Overstressed, he finds refuge in the movies of Jon Dunn, Secret Agent Beta-11. He soon becomes convinced that he "is" Jon Dunn, and sets off on an off-the-wall journey around metro-Washington, from the ruins of a once fashionable mall, to a psychiatric ward in a military hospital, to the office of the Attorney General of the United States. With the help of redheaded amazon Cheri Tarte ("the perfect combination of sweet and tangy"), Gimbel is on the trail of a dangerous - and possibly imaginary - conspiracy to steal a presidential election and fundamentally transform America.
