Crimes of the Future

In a strange reality ravaged by Rouge's Malady--a devastating infection unleashed by the twisted genius of the deranged dermatologist Antoine Rouge--every sexually mature woman has vanished off the face of the earth. As a result, Dr Adrian Tripod, once the director of the House of Skin clinic, embarks on a desperate mission to find a cure. But first, he must track down his elusive mentor. Instead, as he delves deeper and deeper into a surreal odyssey, Tripod discovers a bizarre defeminised society, where rituals replace rational thought. After all, nothing is the same in this increasingly unhinged masculine realm--the unsettling transformations in human behaviour invite perverse ideas, turning science into a form of twisted religion.
