A status-conscious IT consultant travels to Madrid for a week of meetings at Scoptic, who have hired him to implement a fiendishly arcane accounting system equipped with artificial intelligence, in an effort to keep the company one step ahead of the government's rapacious tax authorities. Renowned within the catacombs of the scientific community, and with an impressive publishing record in the most prestigious trade and academic journals, he expects to do serious business with a serious organisation. The only problem is that he lives in a hot, overcrowded world where nothing works: hyperinflation, crumbling infrastructure, rampant crime, political correctness, corruption at all levels, and a new world order globalist government, determined to regulate, monitor, and tax every aspect of a person's life; opposed to the forces of totalitarian democracy are occult underground movements, most notably the Esoteric Hitlerists. As a result, nothing goes according to plan, and frustrations mount as things go only from bad to worse... In his first novel, Alex Kurtagic presents a grim and sarcastic depiction of the everyday consequences of living in a world where present social, cultural, economic, political, and demographic trends have been allowed to continue unabated. The novel is replete with obscure information and modern heretics, its elegant prose losing the reader in its bizarre logic, delirious paranoia, and meandering speculations, where nothing - and nobody - is what it seems.

"Very, very interesting... I loved every paragraph, every chapter.... next to some of my French reading of LF Celine and my German E. Juenger, next to some novels by H Covington, I consider [this] book already a "classic""
Dr. Tomislav Sunic, author of Homo americanus: Child of the Postmodern Age
"Kurtagic's novel is a horrifying travelogue in which readers are confronted with an excruciatingly detailed glimpse of a revoltingly claustrophobic future where current socio-economic and judicial trends are hurled ferociously towards a penultimately cataclysmic and devastating climax. It's a world in which the most grotesque Benetton poster has spilled its guts all over the street and where the kind of degenerative societies portrayed in William Pierce's The Turner Diaries and Colin Jordan's Merrie England seem rather tame by comparison..."
Troy Southgate, author of Tradition & Revolution
"Very impressive."
Prof. Kevin MacDonald, author of The Culture of Critique
"...a brilliant book."
Greg Johnson, editor of The Occidental Quarterly
"Alex Kurtagic's novel on the dystopian near future, Mister, contains references to Savitri Devi, the Savitri Devi Archive, Miguel Serrano, and a vast and shadowy conspiracy of Esoteric Hitlerists who do battle with the System. Other real-life figures who are mentioned or figure as characters include Kevin MacDonald, David Irving, David Duke, James Edwards, and Tomislav Sunic. Mister is a challenging read: densely written and stylistically avant-garde. But it is also tremendously entertaining, wickedly funny, and sometimes downright chilling. Alex Kurtagic is our best novelist since Céline. I urge all fans of Savitri Devi, Serrano, and good writing to buy this book."
R. G. Fowler, editor of the Savitri Devi Archive
"I was highly impressed!"
James Edwards, host of the Political Cesspool radio show
"Grotesquely funny. Kurtagic is an artist with the mind of a scientist."

This is the finest white nationalist novel ever written; it will become a cult classic. The writer does a fine job of presenting one possable dystopian future awaiting western civilization if we stay the present course of increasing multiculturalism and egalitanianism. However,the book has several typographical errors and the writer is prone too use every synonimous adjective (archaic and modern) when making descriptions of various phenomenon. In addition, there are problems with syntax in a couple places, but all of the problems mentioned could be fixed with several revisions and a good editor. I cannot praise this book too highly; this book could be placed on any bookshelve as equal, if not superior too some classic novels (and I have read a few classics). The white protagonist "Mister" through a series misadventures discovers that superior intellect and genetics are not proof against the forces of multicultural decay and comes to the realization that his gifts should have been used for the preservation of his race, regardless of the personal consequences. I especially enjoyed the use of a Barack Obama look-a-like as the primary antagonist! Buy this book, you will not be disappointed, for it stands alone in the growing genre of white nationalist literature!

To say this book surpassed my expectations is not enough. When Mister came in the mail (you won't find this doozy in Barnes & Noble), I was immediately impressed by the sturdy, attractive binding. A tiny press, Iron Sky Publishing matches the big boys at Everyman's Library, right down to the satin bookmarker, and features cover art by Kurtagic himself.
Given said grim cover, I was wholly surprised by Mister's demurely outrageous humor. From page one, including the Introduction by Tomislav Sunic (Kurtagic's European New Right partner-in-crime), who notes that this dystopian tome, while set eleven years in the future as I type, could have well been set in the 1990s, the novel constantly invites the reader to share a deep laugh over the pathetically familiar world its protagonist traverses. Mister is the funniest thing I've read since A Confederacy of Dunces (including Infinite Jest). The unboarding from Mister's British Airways flight to Madrid, as well as his interrogation by the Guardia Civil, attempt to order a pizza, witness to a caucus of hoodlums who organize to clear a road after an accident, and dialogue with the multicultural avatar of Socrates are a class unto themselves. Certain parts of the book dampen the spirits (it depicts a multicultural utopia, or in other words Hell on earth), but some signs of hope: as when a band of zealots vandalize an exhibit by degenerate artist Andres Serrano, and spraypaint
REVENGE OF THE NORMAL PEOPLE:
AGAINST PERVERSION AND OBSCENITY
are enough to warm any man of good will (though Kurtagic, writing before the fact, credits this wholesome destruction to Esoteric Hitlerists, rather than the traditional Catholics who actually did the deed in France in April of this year). Kurtagic's vast knowledge of contemporary Right Wing thought, not to mention vital currents in European music, of which he is an expert, is not to be missed. His depictions of David Irving, Kevin MacDonald ("the Monster of Long Beach", wanted by the Hague no less!), James Edwards, David Duke, and others are as enlightening as the mobs of perverts and ideologues who want to lynch them are hysterical. He also profiles lesser known author Dawn Bergemann (who recommends the book on the back cover; I suspect endorsement fishing was at least one motive), whom I hope to read now that my interest is piqued.
Mister looks long, but with humor and style like Kurtagic's, I was doing sixty pages a day easy. The book makes a great gift for friends still cool to pro-European thought. Mister is a fair-minded vindication of the true patriots of the West, of true order such as England enjoyed before the abandonment of her Empire, and Spain enjoyed under Franco, and a definitive condemnation of those politiques who led Europe into materialism and self-abasement. Anyone who still believes in diversity and all that Marxist hoo-haa should read this book, and ask themselves if it does not depict the world they, if not already made, are building now, asylum seekers' housing block by block.
