Magic Alex's Revenge

Magic Alec's Revenge is the third novel in Michael O'Leary's trilogy Dreamlander Express. It concerns the main character, Magic Alex, who was part of The Beatles' entourage in the late 1960s. Exposed as a charlatan rather than the electronic 'wizard' he claimed to be, he is now, 50 years later, in a lunatic hospital, claiming that he invented all the things that control our everyday lives, the internet, cell phones, i-phones etc, and his revenge is our imprisonment by dependence on all his inventions. The novel also contrasts the All You Need Is Hate world of the 1930s Nazis to the All You Need Is Love philosophy of the 1960s and asks what is it we all need in the 21st Century if we are to remain human?
