Synopses & Reviews
Los Angeles, a few years from now. Technology has changed the rules of the movie business with old, long-dead stars brought digitally back to life. Billboards cover every available surface of the city, beaming out a constant flood of commercials starring the likes of John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, and the great exception, the last real movie star Colt Reston. But something is going wrong: A group of anti-tech rebels are attacking the billboards, inspired by a mysterious manifesto known as The Black Book. A burnt-out screenwriter addicted to the latest hot drug finds his world wobbling. Colt takes ill with an unexplained disease perhaps literally dying of overexposure. A guru who might know why has vanished. And then Montgomery Clift suddenly walks off his virtual set and goes AWOL....
A blistering mash-up of William Gibson, The Ring, and Chuck Palahniuk, Exposure is a great step forward for Kurt Wenzel. Convulsive and thrilling, Exposure is a devastating tour de force by one of the best novelists working today.
Review
"Wenzel dabbles in sci-fi details but doesn't clobber you with them....As a Hollywood novel, Exposure is more than good. As a treatment for a rip-roaring, action-packed anti-Hollywood movie, it's almost great." Los Angeles Times
