A darkly comic work of Australian fiction, The World Repair Video Game chronicles the inner world of an aging, eccentric narrator who becomes consumed by the conviction that he alone can fix the broken state of humanity — one absurd, self-appointed task at a time. David Ireland presents a razor-sharp satirical lens trained on modern society, politics, and the delusions of grandeur that ordinary people quietly nurse, all rendered in a voice that is simultaneously unhinged and disarmingly lucid. The novel illustrates Ireland's signature style: fragmented, aphoristic, and relentlessly irreverent, drawing readers into a consciousness that is as entertaining as it is unsettling. Rich with black humor and philosophical provocation, it stands as a bold late-career statement from one of Australia's most distinctive and underappreciated literary voices.
