When Bowie-obsessed IT guy Bob leaves his job at a bank to work in school surveillance, he is expecting an easy life. He could not be more wrong.

They say the cameras keep the children safe. So no-one objects when their images are used to feed a revolutionary new teaching system that guarantees extraordinary results. But when Bob meets Lexi, a teacher shaken by the tragic suicide of a teenage pupil, he begins to question whether replacing humans with corporate machines is in the children's best interests.

Through the eyes of two ordinary people who will go on to risk everything, For Those About to Rock charts the insidious rise of Yuthentic, a populist political movement, and its sinister private sector partner, The Corporation, as they prepare to set in motion a chilling series of events.

Steeped in the social and political dilemmas that dominate the 2020s, the Rockstar Ending series blends glimmers of dark humor with acutely observed cultural references and include a playlist of songs that run through each story.

If you love thought-provoking fiction such as Black Mirror, The Handmaid's Tale or Nineteen Eighty-Four, this book is for you.
