content
In Phonon , Dath mixes elements of pop culture , left-wing political ideas with elements of fantasy and horror, and the novel contains numerous allusions to contemporary German literature, music and politics.
The main character of the novel, Martin Mahr, works for a fictional music magazine Phonon , which is similar to the magazine Spex , of which Dath was editor-in-chief. In the book, Germany became a monarchy after the Second World War, whose Empress Patrizia rules her country with the help of horoscopes while the subjects live in gigantic trees. A group of conspirators is trying to replace key government officials and music magazine staff with robots , but an underground group called the GPI is resisting. In the end, green slime fills the buildings, the people in the streets go crazy and kill each other, the action drifts into the surreal .
