Preface
In an ominous, glistening dystopia, perpetual war goes between two futuristic nations: West Gotha and East Gotha. The two nations could be clones of each other, and yet they are bitterly at odds over abstract and complex reasons known only to their Junker-like elite. Each is ruled by a tyrant in jackboots, and the tyrants are in fact related by blood in a distant past.
Tedda, a West Gotha citizen, has committed a terrible crime that she cannot even remember—because her memories of the crime and of the love affair that led to it have been selectively wiped clean.
Now a prisoner of the state, Tedda labors at a strange university where work is being done on advanced intereality travel and femtoverses: worlds shrunken to infinitesimally tiny size. She befriends an eccentric group of young computer scientists with whom she plays a popular board game called Monorail. The group has secretly constructed a private 'pocket universe' based on Monorail. Play, however, turns into deadly serious reality as Tedda's own world comes into play. Nothing is safe, and the game hurtles along at its own momentum.
A gripping tour de force, crammed with fresh ideas, from the author of Robinson Crusoe 1,000,000 A.D. and Nebula Express. This novel will remind readers of George Orwell's 1984 or Franz Kafka's The Trial, and of movies like Brazil or Dark City.
