Abstract:

Flet goes down in a spaced-out, delimited future in which all cities have been evacuated after an oft-invoked "Emergency." As the decentralized citizenry brings on the endless, aimless filetape transmissions draining into their homes, our eponymous heroin, a quiescent-but-full-of-agency Administration flunky, is poignantly alone in her suspicion that the Emergency is a tool of sociopolitical manipulation, if not oppression. A face-off between this tentative muckraker and her icy superior is inevitable at the mandatory, nationwide Reenactment, in advance of which Flet finds herself dreaming and driving endlessly off the map. Will she find the missing cities, or will she lose herself in the flood-tide of images that wash over the Nation? -- Book cover.
