Falling Out of Cars by Jeff Noon

The world is contemporary Britain, or nearly so-a virus has been let loose that interferes with its victims' ability to interpret symbolic representations: words drift away on pages, street signs lose their iconic meanings, photographs blur beyond recognition, and mirrors have become a gateway to madness.

Jeff Noon is known for his highly-polished and idiosyncratic renderings of life and literature in contemporary England. His writing is poetry and lures on a cult following of Nooniacs who have eagerly awaited Falling Out of Cars since the 2000 release of Pixel Juice, a collection of 50 Jeff Noon stories.
