Description

This ultra-sharp, darkly satiric, hyper-speed novel is set in a world where multi-level mega malls serve as city states and everything on the outside lies in ruin. On the lower red levels, gang violence and media saturation and bio-tech designer drugs rule. During the weekend, slummers from the green levels leave their safe lives of jobs and families to partake in risky, sometimes deadly fun on the red levels. And, on every level, TV and advertisements literally penetrate the mind. Death is easy and life cheap, until that life is your own or your beloveds. Extreme stylization, great characters, and a level of intensity is maintained throughout. This is a whip-smart, truly violent novel that has at its core a still very human pulsing heart.
