    About this ebook

    There's a new drug around, the mysterious Flush, whose effects are very controversial.
    Try it and everything will "sound" differently.

    Flush is a short fiction, a striking piece of "flash fiction", to be read at full throttle, like you would do with a Trance sound track pushed up to 150 rpm.

    Flush is also a crossmedia project from Future Fiction Factory: born from a short story by Francesco Verso, it became an audiobook for L.A. CASE Production and then it transformed itself into an audio-video installation thanks to New Media Agency Fenyce.

    Francesco Verso personal Awards:
    2004 – Finalist at Urania Mondadori Award with Antidoti Umani
    2009 – Winner of Urania Mondadori with e-Doll – The Smilemaker
    2013 – Winner of Odyssey Award by Delos Books with Livid
    2013 – Special Recommendation at Robot Award for Il Livello dell’Assassino
    2014 – Winner of Cassiopea Award for Livid
    2014 – Finalist at Premio Italia for best SF novel with Livid

    Future Fiction

    Future Fiction We give voice to stories from the future and bring them to life across different media, because we believe there are multiple amplifiers for such stories: ebooks, short films, webseries, theatre performances, comics, live installations, video exhibition, 3D printed objects. Combining these media we tell augmented stories exploring the ambiguous relationship of humans and technologies, the transformation of personal identities and social organizations, the crossroads of humanity dealing with scarcity or abundance of resources: all the visions peering into all possible tomorrows. As there are many worlds, there are many futures. We believe in each and every one of them and we want to depict them all. We do this via the Future Fiction Factory, a Team dedicated to adapt the most suitable stories into any transmedia project. To achieve such ambitious aim, we need your voices, we need your help, your engagement and participation.
