A rundown on all the cliques, from Crims and Cutters to tech-heads and surge-monkeys...
The complete history, starting with the destruction of the oil bug to the launch of Extras in space...
How all those awesome gadgets came to be: hoverboards, eyescreens, skintennas, sneak suits...
PLUS an exclusive look at Scott Westerfeld's first draft of Extras – starring Hiro, not Aya.
