Einstein is a 2004 comedy novel by British author Miles Gibson. The book was first published on November 18, 2004, through The-Do-Not Press, and focuses on a young man who is faced with the end of the world.
Synopsis
It is a darkly satirical, angry comedy with a lively streak of science fiction in which the hero and his dog encounter a Deep Time Mariner, an alien traveler sent down to Earth to evacuate important biological species to an intergalactic ark, before the planet collapses under the pressure of its own industrial filth and pollution. The hero imagines that the Deep Time Mariner has come to whisk him away to safety, but the Mariner has come for the dog. The dog, called Einstein, takes up the story in his own voice, offering an alternative version of the Creation myth and Man's place in the universe. Gibson's narrative attacks many different aspects of urban living, including modern art, the cult of motherhood, factory farming, consumerism, and big business; but it remains, at heart, a story about our relationship with Nature.
