Humanity has been split into three different species. Mutual incomprehension has fractured the globe. As humans race to be the first of their kind to reach the stars, another Great War looms.

For you, that means returning to Yorkshire and the town of your birth, where factories churn out the parts for gigantic spaceships. You're done with the pretensions of the capital and its unfathomable architecture. You're done with the people of the Bund, their easy superiority and unstoppable spread throughout the city of London and beyond. You're done with Georgy Chernoy and his questionable defeat of death. You're done with his daughter, Fel, and losing all the time. You're done with love.

But soon enough you will find yourself in the Smoke again, drawn back to the life you thought you'd left behind.

You're done with love. But love's not done with you.

Augmented Reality uses computing power to overlay a digital imagined reality over the real world. Whether it be ads or imagined buildings and imagined people, with Augmented Reality the world is no longer as it appears to you, it is as it is imagined by someone else. Two friends are working at the cutting edge of this technology, and when they are offered backing to make it into the next global entertainment, they realize that wolves hunt in this imagined world. And the wolves might be them. A story about technology becomes a personal quest into a changed world and the pursuit of a secret from the past. This is no dry analysis of how a technology might change us, it is a terrifying thriller, a picture of a dark tomorrow that is just around the corner.

Книга, которую критики назвали "Рэгтаймом XXI века".
Роман-калейдоскоп, в котором сложно и тонко переплетаются судьбы наивной деревенской девчонки и звезды, страдающей анорексией, невротика-ученого, разочаровавшегося в хипповых идеалах шестидесятника, обаятельного пофигиста "поколения X" и астронавта легендарного "Аполлона-13".
Роман, буквально впитавший в себя дух конца XX века - во всей его полноте и многогранности, во всем трагизме и фарсе.
