I'm a busy person, but I could not put his book down." - Dar Williams, Author & Songwriter"I'm only halfway through this novel, and it's already changing the way I see the world. I have loved Jim Infantino's music for a long time. Now I get to enjoy the interiority of his imagination." - David Wilcox, Songwriter"Jim's debut novel is as funny, thoughtful, surprising and well crafted as the songs I've been enjoying for 18 years. Its focus on community life and social interaction reminded me of the great Kim Stanley Robinson, especially the Three Californias trilogy. The examination of social structures and the tension between dystopian and utopian models brought to mind Iain M Banks' politically charged Culture novels. Particularly impressive is his exploration of the interface between humanity and technology - it is timely, but nonetheless original enough to stand out in a field currently obsessed with the issue, and that's no mean feat." - Scott K. Andrews, Author --- Marto Boxter is an optimistic journalist with a head full of implants. When we meet him, he is planning a ride into the interconnected tribes of the Northeast from his town of Reverside-on-Hudson.

Aware of Yoniver's plans, rival Luddite families scheme to prevent Barnabas from grabbing too much power for himself.This darkly humorous reflection of our changing world is an exploration of what it means to be human as our relationships with technology become increasingly intimate.
