Rubens, Michael
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) US author of The Sheriff of Yrnameer (2009), a spoofish Satire of late modern capitalism in a Planetary Romance venue, the eponymous planet, pronounced Your Name Here, being the only unbranded world in human space: for the self-commodification of Homo sapiens has reached something like saturation point. Yrnameer is a pastoral Utopia, and is under threat. The humour is barbed. [JC]
