Just finished reading the the first of the Jerry Cornelius ‘Quadology’ The Final Programme.

If the ‘Big Time’ is the core of the game, JC is very much the front line. The fast, funny, punchy and down right sexy action of the battle field littered liberall with new ageisms, mad science and pop culture references.

The Final Programme, amongst other things, features the world heading towards Entropy (in the sense of disorder) and Jerry Cornelius and Mrs Brunner working towards a evolution in humankind that can deal with this.  In terms of the Infinite War, both JC and Brunner are by turns agents of the Entropy Jihad, bringing on the meltdown of the time line, and the Crusade, trying to stop/hinder Entropy’s onset.

I orginally read the book when I was 15 and it made bugger all sense to me then so especially chuffed that this time round I understand what was going on!
