About this book
A comedy of loyalty, betrayal, sex, madness, and music-swappingArt is an up-and-coming interface designer, working on the management of data flow along the Massachusetts Turnpike.

Because Art is an industrial saboteur. He may live in London and work for an EU telecommunications megacorp, but Art's real home is the Eastern Standard Tribe.Instant wireless communication puts everyone in touch with everyone else, twenty-four hours a day. But one thing hasn't changed: the need for sleep. The world is slowly splintering into Tribes held together by a common time zone, less than family and more than nations.
