The Rude Eye of Rebellion is the riotously absurd sequel to Always Greener, a sci-fi satire called ?hilarious and horrifying? by Foreword Reviews and ?cultured, witty, and very British? by Kirkus Reviews. A reality show host struggles to find any meaningful way to rebel against the dystopian corporate state that picked him to be a star. Life doesn?t pick winners and losers. That?s for the corporations to decide. And they picked Liam Argyle for a carefree life of fame and fortune as host of the world?s most popular reality show competition. Unfortunately, Liam sucks at living carefree. After two seasons looking for the world?s biggest victims on The Grass Is Greener, he?s been forced to put on a happy face to one tragedy too many??and he won?t turn a blind eye to the corporate dystopian world of the 2070s any longer that picked him to be a star. Now, Liam is out to destroy the very people who made him a star and struggles to find any meaningful way to rebel against them. Even if he fails, he vows he?ll never be a feckless pawn of the industrial-military-entertainment-culinary-janitorial complex ever again!

In the year 2072, new technology allows the television to be broadcast straight into?and out of?the human eye. When a reality show offers a lifetime of lazy luxury to the one person living the world?s worst life, everyone is out to prove just how bad they?ve got it. Eight contestants vie for the prize, allowing the whole world to see life through their eyes, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Only the show?s ever-smiling host, an equally hopeful and hapless former weatherman, seems to have any faith left in humanity. Each week, he struggles behind the scenes as he attempts to elevate the show and wring meaning out of his own unhappy existence.
