Ten brilliant, seminal, hard-edged, nerve-enhancing stories. With a hard-edged, gloomy passion and intensely realised detail, these stories are a synethesis of pop culture, high tech and advanced literary technique.

Cloned Ninja bodyguards and retro fashions, voodoo and deadly cyber criminals: here is a heady mix of imagery delivered with exaggerated clarity against a constant subliminal hum of high tech.
