About this listen
The most electrifying debut novel of 2024—Almost Famous meets Slaughterhouse-Five.
Big Time is set in a not-too-distant future Australia, where the eastern states have become the world's newest autocracy—a place where pop music is propaganda, science is the enemy, nationalism trumps all, and moral indecency is punishable by indefinite detention.
The novel opens as Julian Ferryman, bass player for the Acceptables, returns to Melbourne after a year overseas. He reconnects with his band as they prepare to record and tour their highly anticipated second album, and is given his first taste of a new designer drug, F, a powerful synthetic hallucinogen that gives users a glimpse of their own future. Rumor says, the more you take, the further you see—maybe even to the end of time.
Big Time is an anti-fascist ode to the power of pop music and a satire about art in the face of entropy, all wrapped up in an unforgettable road trip.

Winning narration!
I just loved listening to this book. The combination of the author’s imagery and the emotion the narrator imbued into the text kept me on the hook. 100% recommended!

incredible interwoven story
A rags to riches band story. A think piece on the future of Australia under a far right regime. A sci fi exploration of time travel.
And beautifully written segues that all makes sense in the end.
A truly original and truly stunning book.
