THE WORLD OF UGLIES, SET IN OUR NOT-SO-DISTANT
FUTURE,is a complex place filled with bubbly technology
and lingo, yet bogus rules about status and appearance.
That's why a guide to the world of uglies has been
requisitioned from the hole in the wall. Inside you'll
find:
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.
