In Drink, Play, F@#k Bob Sullivan, a jilted husband, sets off to explore the world, experience a meaningful connection with the divine, and rediscover his passion. His travels lead him from his home in New York City to a drinking bender across Ireland, through the glitz and glamour that is Las Vegas, and to the hedonistic pleasure palaces of Thailand. After a lifetime of playing it safe, Mr. Sullivan finally follows his heart and lives out everyone's deepest fantasies. For who among us hasn't dreamed of standing stark naked, head upturned, and mouth agape beneath a cascading torrent of Guinness Stout? What could be more exhilarating than losing every penny you have because Charlie Weiss went for a meaningless last-second field goal? And what sensate creature could ever doubt that the greatest pleasure known to man can be found in a leaky bamboo shack filled with glassy-eyed, bruised Asian hookers? Bob Sullivan has a lot to teach us about life. Let's just pray we have the wisdom to put aside our preconceptions and listen. Because what Bob Sullivan finds isn't at all what he expected.

Las Vegas is considered a modern icon of excess. It offers every imaginable
extreme of greed, pleasure, and despair, all supported by technology that
enhances fantasy and allows residents and visitors alike to forget reality
and responsibility. The authors of the fourteen stories in Dead Neon imagine Sin City in the near future, when excess has led to social, environmental, or
economic collapse. Their stories range from futuristic casinos to the seared
post-apocalyptic desert, from the struggle to survive in a repressive theo-
cracy to the madness of living in a world where most life forms and all
moral codes have vanished.
Dead Neon explores the possible future of America by examining the near future of Las Vegas. The authors, all either Vegas-based or intimately fami-
liar with the city, capture its unique rhythms and flavor and probe its poten-
tial for evoking the fullest range of the human spirit in settings of magic,
horror, and despair.
