Imagine a System which both nurtures and protects. A Community which nourishes and sustains. An infinite world. A world without sickness, without death. A world without God. A world without fear.Could you...might you be happy there?H(A)PPY is a post-post apocalyptic Alice in Wonderland, a story which tells itself and then consumes itself.

It's a novel which twists and writhes with all the terrifying precision of a tiny fish in an Escher lithograph a book where the mere telling of a story is the end of certainty.
