Synopsis
|
Volume
One in the Tcity
Trilogy
TCITY -
a vast, automated
industrial complex
in twenty-second
century Teesside.
Along its enclosed
corridors move the
citizens - their
lives negated by
total automation
to a dreary and
purposeless
leisure, unaware
of the world
outside the
corridors, their
pleasures
dominated by the
endless erotic
fantasy of the
tri-d screen.
But outside
Tcity, along the
starkly beautiful
coast, live
executives like
Jan Caspol: a
priviliged group
who, with the aid
of unlimited
resources,
artificially
enhanced Qs and
sophisticated
control
techniques,
mastermind the
running of Tcity
and enjoy the best
material and
intellectual
delights a
prosperous world
can offer.
The explosion,
when it comes, is
inevitable,
sinister and
devastating . . . |
