Murphy's Favourite Channels By John Murray Flambard Press Looking back, the eponymous Roe Murphy finds that his life has, more often than not, bizarrely imitated his favourite television programmes. Can reality be mimicking the mass media? Or is television creating reality? What is the relationship between images on the screen and the so-called real world? Then in 2001, the year of 9/11 in New York and the equally apocalyptic Foot and Mouth epidemic in the North of England, Murphy acquires his first satellite dish. Suddenly his universe expands and he is able to hop from channel to channel in a way he hadn't dreamed of before, when he was limited to terrestial television. Now with almost unlimited access to cyberspace, which he flits around in a seemingly random fashion, he enters a world of crazy comedy. But what does this do for his real life, if he has one any more? Where does reality begin? Where does cyberspace end?
