New York: Warner, (2001.) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - Nine interconnected stories of survival in the near future, boldly SIGNED on the title page. From the dj: 'Life in America a generation from now isn't much different from today: The drugs are better, the daily grind is worse. The gap between the rich and the poor has widened to a chasm. You can store the world's legal knowledge on a chip in your little finger, while the Supreme Court has decreed that constitutional rights don't apply to any individual who challenges the system. Justice is swiftly delivered by automated courts, so the prison industry is booming. And while the media declare racism is dead, word on the street is that even in a colorless society, it's a crime to be black.' 356 pp.. ISBN: 0-446529540.
