Synopsis
"Darkly funny and brilliantly unhinged" — Kirkus Reviews
"A chaotic black comedy about a man with a messiah complex." — Kirkus Reviews
If Fight Club, Money, and The Motorcycle Diaries had a three-way, Novelty would be their web-toed, mutant lovechild.
Finn Balor is a depraved billionaire and polymath with a vendetta against fate and an insatiable appetite for hedonism. Obsessed with the idea that free will is a fallacy, he invents the Oracle—a quantum device capable of reshaping reality.
Determined to break the chains of causality, Finn founds Q-Path, a radical underground sect, and unleashes his fanatical acolytes upon an unsuspecting world. But as Q-Path spreads chaos, Finn is forced to confront an unsettling question: is he humanity’s saviour or its saboteur? And is Finn Balor really who he claims to be?
