Now published for the first time in the UK, the second visionary novel from the acclaimed author of LITTLE BROTHER. Art is an upandcoming interface designer, working on the management of data flow along the Massachusetts Turnpike. Hes doing the best work of his career and can guarantee that the system will be, without question, the most counterintuitive, userhostile piece of software ever pushed forth into the world. Why? Because Art is an industrial saboteur. He may live in London and work for an EU telecommunications megacorp, but Arts real home is the Eastern Standard Tribe. Instant wireless communication puts everyone in touch with everyone else, twentyfour hours a day. But one thing hasnt changed the need for sleep. The world is slowly splintering into tribes held together by a common time zone, less than family and more than nations. Art is working to humiliate the Greenwich Mean Tribe to the benefit of his own people. But in a world without boundaries, nothing can be taken for granted not happiness, not money, certainly not love. Which might explain why Art finds himself stranded on the roof of an insane asylum outside Boston, debating whether to push a pencil into his brain
