Nostradamus Ate My Hamster is a fantasy novel by British author Robert Rankin. In it, several seemingly unconnected and nonsensical events come together to make perfect clarity at the end; these include time travel and an attempted alien invasion vaguely orchestrated by Hitler.
The plot centers around the aptly named Russell Nice, stuck in a dead-end job at a movie prop selling business, discovering holographic equipment from the future that allows the holder to create life-like holograms of any movie star they want. Eventually he becomes entangled in a mass of deceit, lies and betrayal, all of which centers around a demon-god with an insect face, and Hitler, who is stuck in the present time with his SS bodyguards.
