A story that begins in the favelas, the slums of Rio, and quickly expands to take in drugs, corruption, and a frightening new technology that allows access to all the multiple worlds that have slipped into existence in other planes everytime we make a decision. This is rich, epic SF that opens our eyes to the world around us and poses mind-blowing alternative science. It is a landmark work in a modern SF from one of its most respected practitioners.
'McDonald has outdone his prodigious self. A novel that makes magic from technology, alien worlds from the everyday. A novel of swordfights and quantum physics, of sly reality-TV humour and sheer poetry. I loved these people, I rooted for them. McDonald has so many writer tricks that I could read this book a hundred times and learn something new every time.' -- Cory Doctorov, author of 'Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town'.
