VOGUE's advertising copywriters have accidentally supplied us with a very hip and fashionable story about inner spaces, a rather grim and scary little story. In other words, this 1995 ad copywriting from VOGUE is a classic New Wave SF story, which might easily have appeared in Michael Moorcock's NEW WORLDS in 1967. The cut-up editing gives it something of a William Burroughs cast. All that is missing are some J. G. Ballard style ``condensed novel'' numbers and subtitles. I've supplied these myself.
