In a world drowning in data, a fugitive tries to outrun the forces that want to reprogram him, in this smart, edgy novel by a Hugo Award-winning author.
Constantly shifting his identity among a population choking on information, innovation, and novelty, Nickie Haflinger is a most dangerous outlaw, yet he doesn't even appear to exist. As global society falls apart in all directions, with corporate power run amok and personal freedom surrendered to computers and bureaucrats, Haflinger is caught and about to be re-programmed. Now he has to try to escape once again, defy the government-and turn the tide of organizational destruction, in this visionary science fiction novel by the author of
The Sheep Look Up and
Stand on Zanzibar.
"Brunner writes about the future as if he and the reader were already living in it." -
The New York Times Book Review
"When John Brunner first told me of his intention to write the book, I was fascinated-but I wondered whether he, or anyone, could bring it off. Bring it off he has, with cool brilliance. A hero with transient personalities, animals with souls, think tanks and survival communities fuse to form a future so plausibly alive it as twitched at me ever since." -Alvin Toffler, author of
Future Shock
"One of the most important science fiction authors. Brunner held a mirror up to reflect our foibles because he wanted to save us from ourselves." -SF Site
