funding a book based on a character...

[drivin_me_nuts]

edit. That should read finding a book...

I'm sure this is not much of a challenge for the well read. I'm after a book I read a long te ago, probably science fiction, but not sure. It features a character who in the future will save mankind because everything technical he touches breaks. hence he saves the world from robot domination.

Any ideas what the book might be?

Regards,

A chap with a nagging half memory in the back of my mind.

Is it the guy in the Skittles advert on TV? Everything he touches turns to Skittles?
