The Alternate Reality News Service's Guide to Love, Sex and Robots
ByPublisher Description
It's crazy out there. No, really crazy. Crazier than we can imagine. And, we have pretty vivid imaginations when it comes to the crazy. When this affects your relationship with your life mate, your offspring, your other family members, your auto mechanic or your AI-enhanced toaster oven, it can be hard to know what to do. When relationships get so confusing that the federal tax code starts to make sense, who can you turn to for help?
The Alternate Reality News Service's two advice columns, of course: Ask Amritsar and Ask The Tech Answer Guy. Award pining columnist Amritsar Al-Falloudjianapour is not a trained therapist, but she does know a lot of stuff about love and romance and technology and stuff. The Tech Answer Guy, two-time runner-up for the Nobel Prize for Used Tissue Paper Art, answers questions about technology and anything other than love and romance. It's a thing with him. Don't ask. The first collection of their columns, The Alternate Reality News Service's Guide to Love, Sex and Robots, is now available in all major formats, and will be released soon in convenient pill form.

About Ira Nayman
Ira Nayman is profilic. Proficlic. Proclif - he writes a lot.
He has self-published eleven collections of articles written by the tireless staff of the Alternate Reality News Service. Five contain news, reviews, interviews, and anything else you might expect to find in your daily newspaper (Alternate Reality Ain't What It Used To Be, What Were Once Miracles Are Now Children's Toys, Luna for the Lunies!, The Street Finds Its Own Uses for Mutant Technologies and Futures in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear). The series also contains two collections of humourous science fiction advice columns: The Alternate Reality News Service's Guide to Love, Sex and Robots and What the Hell Were You Thinking? Good Advice for people who make bad decisions. The series is rounded out by three collections of reports from a universe where Vesampucceri is the world's leading idiotocracy (rule by the stupidest people): ARNS and the Man, E Deplorables Unum and Angels of Our Bitter Nature. The most recent book collects the three Vesampucceri volumes in one; it is called Idiotocracy for Dummies. All but the first and most recent books are available on Smashwords. (They are also available in print, for those of you who have a fetish for paper...)
New Alternate Reality News Service stories appear regularly on Ira's Web site: Les Pages aux Folles. These include two advice columns: Ask Amritsar (about love and romance and technology) and Ask the Tech Answer Guy (about anything to do with technology except love and romance). Readers are encouraged to submit their own questions for the advice columns. Les Pages aux Folles also contains topical political and social satire and surreal cartoons.
The Weight of Information, the pilot for a radio series based on Alternate Reality News Service articles, can be heard on YouTube; listen to Part One or Part Two.
Ira has also written eight Transdimensional Authority novels, six of which have been published by Elsewhen Press: Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience); You Can't Kill the Multiverse (But You Can Mess With its Head); Random Dingoes; It's Just the Chronosphere Unfolding as It Should; The Multiverse is a Nice Place to Visit, But I Wouldn't Want to Live There; and, Good Intentions: The Multiverse Refugees Trilogy: First Pie in the Face. They follow the adventures of Transdimensional Authority Investigators or Time Agency Agents. If you're somewhere (or somewhen) you shouldn't be,...
