4.0

From the collection "The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher," but released separately as an e-book. In the context of the collection, this story did stand out, having a slightly different tone (somewhat sci-fi/horror fiction, to be honest) intwined with dark, creepy, slightly confusing imagery with a deadpan witty narrative voice. Like a really good Martin Amis, this one is.
