It's 2065 in Southern California. Virtuality's post-Orwellian, pre-Matrix satire is a near-future dystopia on the verge of collapse. When a mysterious hacker disrupts transmissions, four quirky misfits find out that the streaming infotainments of their customized MyndScreen(TM) brain implants have noxious side effects-not to mention the addictive free extruded soyalgent food that everyone's eating. Who will succumb to corporate commercialism on steroids? Who will survive the apocalypse?
