About the book
In the San Francisco of Zachary Mason's second novel, the seas have risen, the middle latitudes are emptying, and armed drones keep the poor away from the rich. Irina has an artificial memory with perfect recall that lets her interpret for her employers' opaque AIs, and her pay covers yearly Mayo Clinic treatments that keep her from aging. Kern lives in the drone-built favelas at the city's edge, training in martial arts and surviving as a thief and enforcer. Thales, from a Brazilian political family, has fled to Los Angeles after an attack that killed his father and left him crippled. Unseen forces begin to push these three together. The book explores artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy and immortality.
