Damilola Karpov is a pilot. Living in Byzantium, a huge sky city
floating above the land of Urkaine, he makes his living as a drone
pilot - capable of being a cameraman who records the events unfolding in
Urkaine or, with the weapons aboard his drone, of making a newsworthy
event happen for his employers: 'Big Byz Media'.
His recordings are known as S.N.U.F.F.: Special Newsreel/Universal
Feature Film.
S.N.U.F.F. is a superb post-apocalyptic novel, exploring the conflict
between the nation of Urkaine, its causes and its relationship with the
city 'Big Byz' above. Contrasting poverty and luxury, low and high
technology, barbarity and civilisation - while asking questions about
the nature of war, the media, entertainment and humanity.
