In the near future, the Second Great Depression and the American Liberation War have left America as a satellite of China. China Mountain Zhang is a Sino-Hispanic New Yorker. His boss tries to interest him in his daughter. Finding himself unemployed, this is a rites of passage story of a gay man.

With this groundbreaking novel, Maureen F. McHugh established herself as one of the decade's best science fiction writers. In its pages, we enter a post-revolution America, moving from the hyper-urbanized eastern seaboard to the Arctic bleakness of Baffin Island; from the new Imperial City to an agricultural commune on Mars. The overlapping lives of cyber-kite fliers, lonely colonists, illicit neural-pressball players, and organic engineers blend into a powerful, taut story of a young man's journey of discovery. This is a macroscopic world of microscopic intensity, one of the most brilliant visions of modern SF.
