Thriller Techno | Science Fiction
In a world where image is everything, where the past is
more real than the present, the rich can reprogram
everything–and cast themselves in the starring roles.
Everyone else is nothing but an extra.... As part of the supporting cast, Pelayo survives as a test
subject for the latest electronic skin and philm
technology, which brings past trends and famous people to
vivid life on his body. His cousin Marta works at a
cinematique offering cheap skincense, image grafts, and
nanimatronics. That’s where she meets Nadice, an
indentured worker smuggling illegal ware to escape an
exclusive resort specializing in kitschy environs. But
Nadice is hiding something far more contraband: a
forbidden pregnancy she can’t explain but is determined to
protect. When Marta tries to help, both women disappear. While Pelayo searches for his cousin, homicide detective
Kasuo van Dijk investigates a mysterious death that may
involve a new kind of e-skin–mass-mediated ware that will
lead him to Marta, Nadice, her employer–and a diabolical
plan to deliver humanity kicking and screaming into a
frightening new age of information....
