Our Fiction Friday serialized novel, The Killswitch Review, is a futuristic murder mystery with killer sociopolitical commentary (and some of the best sex scenes we’ve ever read!). Written by bestselling sci-fi author Steven-Elliot Altman (with Diane DeKelb-Rittenhouse), it offers a terrifying postmodern vision in the tradition of Blade Runner and Brave New World…
By the year 2156, stem cell therapy has triumphed over aging and disease, extending the human lifespan indefinitely. But only for those who have achieved Conscientious Citizen Status. To combat overpopulation, the U.S. has sealed its borders, instituted compulsory contraception and a strict one child per couple policy for those who are permitted to breed, and made technology-assisted suicide readily available. But in a world where the old can remain vital forever, America’s youth have little hope of prosperity.
Jason Haggerty is an investigator for Black Buttons Inc, the government agency responsible for dispensing personal handheld Kevorkian devices, which afford the only legal form of suicide. An armed “Killswitch” monitors and records a citizen’s final moments — up to the point where they press a button and peacefully die. Post-press review agents — “button collectors” — are dispatched to review and judge these final recordings to rule out foul play.
When three teens stage an illegal public suicide, Haggerty suspects their deaths may have been murders. Now his race is on to uncover proof and prevent a nationwide epidemic of copycat suicides. Trouble is, for the first time in history, an entire generation might just decide they’re better off dead.

“Like we say in the show, pot smokers are really nice people and fun to hang out with as long as you dont get them started on a story.”
– Doug Benson
I’m willing to admit right now in print that I smoke a lot of pot. It doesn’t overwhelm my life so I can safely advocate anyone smoking as much marijuana as they want. That said, please get high and go see The Marijuana-Logues. It is definitely the funniest show I have ever seen in New York City. The show is written and performed by three veteran standup comedians, Arj Barker, Doug Benson and Tony. It originally began as a satire on The Vagina Monologues but it soon developed a life of its own as the three comedians traveled all over America with the show.
