Orange County, California, in the 21st Century. Designer drugs, freeways that glide, soar and loop through the landscape; it's a mass-culture, video-saturated world, and the living looks easy...
Jim McPherson, a twenty-seven-year-old adrift in this affluent society, lives his life through the dreams of the past. Dennis, his father, is an aerospace engineer deeply involved in military research, a fact that Jim ignores – until he becomes a minor urban terrorist out of boredom. The lives of father and son, separate for so long, are finally on a collision course.
Kim Stanley Robinson has created an ironic, multi-layered vision of life in the 21st Century, which will enhance his reputation as one of the finest SF writers of the late twentieth century.
"Robinson's Orange County books make their market-place competitors look trivial"
THE GUARDIAN
"Robinson's writing ranks in the highest levels of the genre"
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Robinson is a skilful and intelligent writer"
