Synopsis

My brother Daniel was given five years to live. He spent two and a half of them recording a podcast with me in a bunker room at my house, which he insisted on calling Mum's basement.

Sixty-nine episodes. Two listeners. Zero profit. A swear jar that filled up in a single night.

Random Access Memories is the story of those episodes and the forty-six years behind them. Piss Weak World. The IBM wars. The three black discs over Sydney. A snake catcher named Julia. A cat named Claude. Friends with names like Drunken Monkey, the Pickle Bear and Spitroast Steve, who turned up every week to eat lunch, tell stories and laugh until someone needed to piss.

Then the world locked down, and the cruellest part of my brother's death was not the cancer.

This book is funny, because Daniel was funny. It is sad, because he is gone. And it ends with something most books can't offer: a QR code, and on the other end of it, my brother, still talking.

Player One has left the game. The save file is intact.
