"Cyberchicks in Love" is a hilarious, fast-paced romp that goes beyond "humorous science fiction". The madcap adventures of a horde of beautiful young women all intent on pursuing the same man are woven into a parody, or spoof, of fanfic, chick lit, bodice-rippers, virtual reality and travel guides. The writing is inventive and witty, though sometimes peppered with a sprinkle of endearing mediocrity. There are good reasons for this, and they are precisely the reasons that make "Cyberchicks in Love" unusual. The story is a collaboration between authors living in different parts of the world, most of whom have never met. None of them had any idea what anyone else was going to write next. And yet, their creative efforts all come together to make sense (if you look at them sideways, with your eyes crossed¿).The story is riddled with stereotypes that could be viewed as "politically incorrect" except that they are delivered with playful, good-natured humor and no intention to offend any individual, race, people or culture.
On the contrary, the aim - and the effect - is to amuse! The plot zigzags wildly, ricocheting from the fertile minds of contributors who used their writing as a way of expressing their admiration for an unattainable idol.And who was the talented and successful actor who inspired all this madness? None other than Jürgen Prochnow, most famous for his role as The Captain in the German war movie "Das Boot", As one of his fans wrote, "We love everything about him, including any flaws.""Cyberchicks in Love" centers around a fictional version of Prochnow, but at its heart it expresses the adoration of ordinary fans for the consummate acting skills of their hero. It's a rollicking good read, with all the ingredients of a cult classic!.
