The boundaries between the real and the virtual break down in this
literary SF thriller from the author of If Then and The
Destructives
Once, Nelson was a radical journalist, but now he works for Monad, the
corporation that makes the Dr Easys, the androids which police London's
streets. They also make the Red Men, versions of real people imagined by
a shadowy artificial intelligence... and they're looking to expand the
program.
Nelson creates Redtown, a digital version of a suburb, where the deepest
secrets and desires of its citizens can be catalogued and studied. But
the project's goals are increasingly authoritarian and potentially
catastrophic. As the boundaries between Redtown and the real world break
down and revolution against the Red Men is imminent, Nelson is forced to
choose between the corporation and his family.
