Description: Bruce Sterling is internationally celebrated as the literary link between the information age and speculative fiction. His new novel shows us a world where the the U.S. Army and Navy can't pay their power bill and where the Senate and House are dominated by the shills of the scattered, fractious power centers of the new society: corporations, churches, cults, labor unions, privately owned cities, investment clubs, militias, mafia crews, state governments, banks, HMOs, and especially congressional Emergency Committees. They're all self-appointed and they run the world.

It's a Gingrich/Toffler world: Third Wave decentralized, 85% unemployment, high-tech, free-market, corrupt, bizarre, and... distracted as all hell.

Enter a (mostly) human, hardworking, practical overachiever, his incredibly bizarre, singleminded neurologist lover, and the bombastic violent visionary (who happens to be the Governor of Louisiana), and what's left of America had better hold on to its collective hats.
