Overview:

 " The citizens of Narcopolis lead blessed lives, enriched by sucking down delicious
   MamaDream and filling their tasks to enrich society. But Gray Neighbor just isn't
   sure that is all life has to offer, and maybe there is more beyond the daily
   sluice. But when a psychestryke horrorist attack brings carnage to his life, he
   is thrust deeper into the edges of this utopian society and into conflict with
   the agents of TRUST who keep order. Crafting whole new chunks of language, and
   stunning concepts of a bizarre new world, Jamie Delano delivers a masterful new
   series that has to been seen to be believed! "

   I was quite impressed with this series. The premise is nothing special, really,
   but the execution, featuring a combination of Newspeak-style dialogue (the author
   doesn't entirely manage to keep it up towards the end as the pace quickens, but
   it doesn't get so thin as to break suspension of disbelief and is a very solid
   effort on the whole) and the eerily casual pornographic elements that keep
   appearing in the artwork, establishes a surreal atmosphere which makes this work
   hugely more effective all but a few of the other works exploring the same theme.
