New Nomad, nappy expert, small town man and ultimately a hologram – these are the life roles of Adrian Wilson, hero and author of this book, which when he began writing it, was to become the world’s first novel about two and a half streets.

Very Acme is two books within one: it is about small town life in the global age and trying to keep a sense of identity in a world of multi-corporations and information overload.

"Very Acme is a delight of a read, skilfully painting a contrast with small town living in a global age. It is witty, imaginative and at the same time commanding."
Ian McMillan

Adrian Wilson is a writer, journalist and musician. He first became famous-by-default as a young punk, for enquiring of the singer Chrissie Hynde if an abandoned pair of leopard-skin-print trousers had any 'brass in't' pocket', unintentionally inspiring the first number one record of the 1980s. His novels The Righteous Brother and Very Acme are published by Route.
