'Science is the new rock 'n' roll' is the idea at the centre of 'Nowhere Men'. In this world - scientific research has experienced a cultural boom to the point of being one of the most prevalent thoughts in the public mind, and this is all thanks to the combined efforts of four scientists, who united to form World Corp; a company with the solitary goal of making the world a better place. However, like all good things, it had to come to an end - and this is where 'Nowhere Men' picks up - decades later, with the members of World Corp aged and scattered, either bitterly stewing in their respective castles, or in the case of one member of the group - entirely (and mysteriously) missing. But things are far from complacent, as an entirely new threat to humankind approaches, one that may just require the band to get back together. And it's this element that makes Nowhere Men a must read for anyone with a love for music; the story reflects not only corporate history in the form of the Apple/Microsoft war, but also the demise of The Beatles, the arguments, the egos, the heartbroken masses. 'Nowhere Men' is a fascinating look at a more than plausible alternative history.
