It is the future. The end of the world is no more than a distorted memory called "the Age of F***ed-up Shit." A sentient glacier has wiped out most of North America’s cities. Medical care is supplied by networked nanotechnology, and human nervous systems can be hacked. Abby Fogg is a film archivist with a niggling feeling that her life is not her own. And she’s right. Al Skinner is a former mercenary for the Boeing Army, who's dragged his war baggage behind him for nearly a century. Woo-jin Kan is a virtuoso dishwasher with the Hotel and Restaurant Management Olympics medal to prove it. Over them all hovers a mysterious man named Dirk Bickle, who puts people in the right places at the right times--and it all culminates in a full-scale replica of Manhattan under construction in Puget Sound.

Ryan Boudinot is the author of the novel Misconception, a finalist for the PEN/USA Literary Award. He is on the faculty of Goddard College's MFA program in Port Townsend, Washington. Ryan blogs about film in a column called The Eyeball at therumpus.net. A native of Skagit County, he now lives in Seattle.
