Douglas Rushkoff

Science Fiction

"A darkly comic contemporary fable: a brave, very funny, very knowing trip through the neo-psychedelic substrate of the wired world." - William Gibson, bestselling author of Neuromancer and Idoru

Douglas Rushkoff - the foremost authority on cyberculture and author of Cyberia, Media Virus and Playing the Future - has penned the ultimate novel for our fast and furious times. A wired-in thrill ride into the here and now of tripping, raving, net-surfing... and beyond.

"An eerie tale of 20-somethings caught up in an increasingly trippy world of homegrown religion. Set in an abandoned piano factory in Oakland, CA., Rushkoff's novel drops several characters - hackster, hipster, hustler, hippie - into a pop-culture Cuisinart along with a nice Jewish boy, and then spins them off into an intricate plot that leads to a showdown with the leader of a rival cultlike group." - New York Times
