Preamble
The chapter 'Preamble' introduces Sam J. Lundwall's novel 'King Kong Blues' by situating it within the context of speculative fiction's often pessimistic view of the near future. It highlights Lundwall's unique approach of grounding his narrative in realistic elements from his Swedish environment while addressing global issues such as overpopulation, political and religious conflicts, and technological control. The chapter also details the novel's innovative multimedia aspect, combining literature with a musical album, and recounts the background of its creation, publication, and reception.
