A wallpad ORANGE by T. J. P. CAMPBELL
Author’s comment: I am very happy to present this novel to my growing list of completed sci-fi titles.
A wallpad ORANGE is a one-off novel and not part of a series. It will be available for sale online and in major book stores some time in 2016 (currently through the Bookanory Publishing House imprint). Book cover designed and created by myself.
A wallpad ORANGE is a dystopian sci-fi novel by T. J. P. CAMPBELL. It is a completed 97,000 word novel in 59 chapters. This novel follows the incredible journey of the indomitable Julie and Sally who, despite coming up against insurmountable odds, aim to give Humanity a chance of rising out of the ashes. The human condition exposed in all its contradictory wonder. Written in British English with USA layout.
wallpad IS WATCHING YOU!
FAKE is REAL
FAILURE is SUCCESS
STUPIDITY is BRILLIANCE
Soon to be published in 2016. This novel will not require knowledge of any known novels. It is completely original. All characters, prose, poems and songs are original. In the late 21st century, English became the de facto language of choice, and by the end of the 22nd century it established itself as the de jure language. This had dire consequences for humanity, as the language became abused by the weight of numbers of poor writers who using gamification on the wallpad system, slowly but inexorably butchered the language and brainwashed their readers into believing in fantasies that such readers held dear. The wallpad ORANGE corporation grew into the richest and most powerful organisation the world had ever known. Until they became the government of almost the entire world. And when wallpad authors, through their greed and stupidity, fell into savage internecine warfare, the fate for the Earth’s downfall was firmly determined. A fate that saw the utter and total destruction of humanity in World War Infinity.
Chapter 1. The Ultimate English Victory – teaser
21st June, 2138
The lead newsreader on the internet’s most popular channel, wallpad channel WP1, allowed a gloriously superficial smile to stretch across her face before announcing:
“Good Morning wallpaders! Last night, as Big Ben struck 23, wallpad ORANGE (incorporated) announced that forthwith all stories will be written and read in English. The entire text on the wallpad megasite compendium is now in English. If translation wallwidgets have failed to translate stories as writers prefer, then by all means edit them. Please bear in mind that all words must be in English. This will no doubt effect many historical fiction texts, for instance. So be very careful-or else the translation wallwidgets might create some amusing, if not incongruous, segments of text. Finally, on this matter, please note that the wallpad ORANGE motto, Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno (which was written in the now extinct Latin language) has been translated into English. That is to say: All for one, and one for all.
“There have already been some complaints from the Filipino wallpaders over the removal of zombie boy-band True Infection resurrection stories, which, until yesterday night, were for some obscure reason always written in Filipino (Tagalog language). In a most audaciously unusual move, these Filipino wallpaders have ALL deleted their stories. Other Filipino writers have deleted their English stories in a show of sympathetic support-though it is interesting to note that a surprising number of new Filipino wallpaders have joined wallpad ORANGE as writers over the last few hours. Conclude what you like from that!
“Well wallpaders, things should be easy now and much more friendly. English rules! Hashtag: NoHaters. Hashtag: NoBullying. Hashtag: wallpadORANGE. wallpadORANGE dot com!”
Thirteen-year-old Julie Burns XIV heard all this on her wallpad slate as she was polishing off her cornflakes, sitting as she was in her London flat’s tiny kitchen.
After taking her empty bowl to the WP-dishwasher, she immediately started typing a message on her slate using the wallpad ORANGE talk system, which she was permanently logged into…
WP-Julie1313 @WP-Saladcream Hi Sally! Did U hear the WP news about going English?
Julie sensed that her classmate, Sally, would answer almost immediately because her school morning routine was pretty much identical to her own.
Julie was wrong in her expectations even though a message did arrive from Sally…
WP-Saladcream @WP-Julie1313 Oi, Jules babe! Did U hear it? WP has gone English?
“Damn,” cursed Julie, “what an idiot, she must have messaged me while I was messaging her.” Julie stroked her chin, thinking… “I know, I’ll just wait until she replies to my message, or we’ll end up never having a proper talk.”
Julie waited…and she waited…and she waited…

Read the incredibly wondrous new science fiction novel by T. J. P. Campbell.
“A highly imaginative fully fleshed out sci-fi novel examining the human condition through the non-human. This tour de force of sci-fi adventurism presents many seamless layers of intelligence and depth of understanding to give a wide mass of readers an entertaining read. There is satire heaped upon satire in some 150,000 words, yet the story maintains its original and creative glory.” – International Associated Press
The Last Robot
A Sci-Fi Novel by T. J. P. Campbell
A novel pushing the limits of psychological attack. One might call it an extreme form of gas lighting. Meet the ever-changing future of humanity. The reader is kept guessing for the majority of the novel as to what the reality of the situation truly is.
So just who is in danger? With three types of humans, two alien races and a race of human originated self-aware robots, the stakes could not be higher as the lives of each and every one of these species are threatened with mass extinction or enslavement.
Ready to take the ride? This highly entertaining sci-fi novel is an interstellar affair.
The Last Robot is a 152,000 word sci-fi novel by T. J. P. Campbell.
