Book excerpt: The QWERTY MAN is a dystopian comedy set in a world where all digital words cost money. Global chaos ensues when the keyword 'God' is released for sale. In the not-so-distant future of 2034, every word typed, swiped, copied or pasted on any device costs a fee and can be traded on the global marketplace. This is the world created by the all-powerful Zach Webman, CEO and founder of Qwertex (Quantitative Word & Expression Trading Index). When Qwertex releases the rights to the keyword ‘God’ for auction, it kicks off a multi-billion dollar bitter bidding war. The Saudi Prince, the US President, the Pope and the world’s most powerful CEOs will do whatever it takes to win ‘God’. Amidst the turmoil of rising anti-Qwertex protests and global terrorist attacks, Zach discovers his wife, his PA and his only son have betrayed him. God only knows what Zach will do.
