Norman Spinrad, acclaimed author of BUG JACK BARRON and CHILD OF FORTUNE, has create an extraordinarily powerful novel of sex, rock and revolution driven by a relentless 4/4 beat.It is the near future. Tens of millions now live in the streets. The City teems with Uzi-toting enforcers, kibble-munching streeties and wire heads plugged into the latest electronic high.And somewhere along the line, rock and roll has lost its soul - or rather sold it to a megacorporation that churns out synthesized hits with all the passion of the market research reports that dictate their demographic parameters.From the highest towers of the corporate world to the sex-and-thrill bars, to the death-infested streets, an explosion is about to take place."The Spinrad of BUG JACK BARRON is back with a vengeance. LITTLE HEROES is ferocious and funny, street smart and heartfelt."-William Gibson"LITTLE HEROES is written with wisdom, human warmth, astonishing insight, sophistication and the master touch. Norman Spinrad is a major literary figure of our time. It's a rare pleasure to read this engaging mind."-Timothy Leary"Vintage Spinrad. A novel which mourns the death of rock and roll - and celebrates its rebirth."-Michael Moorcock
