Fake reviews on Amazon. Punk rock angels. YouTube memorials. Anarchists, misfits, immigrants, addicts, juvenile detention communes. Religious testimonies via web cam, the nature of digital obituaries, depression salesmen. Ambushing the Void explores the margins of 21st century America, presenting characters confronting new worlds, new technologies, and new social structures while attempting to retain their identities and formative worldviews. Despite the impersonal technological and corporate apparatus of the contemporary world, they strive to re-imagine and discover how empathy, connection, relationships, and meaning can be found in our increasingly mechanized and atomized culture. These quirky, off-beat stories (with a tinge of the weird and disturbing) are thought-provoking takes on the post-modern search for meaning.
