It's BLADE RUNNER meets Paolo Bacigalupi's THE WINDUP GIRL OneWorld is a planet orbited by thousands of satellite cities, and home to 23 billion humans. A place where governments, police forces and law courts compete for business within a wholly privatised system; where murder, rape and torture are merely extra items on your insurance policy; where a corporation owns the license for time; and where scientific fact has been replaced by 'consumer information'. In OneWorld, every product wirelessly links to the 'grID', and people spend most of their scheduled 'waketime' moving through various overlapping realities via their grID visors. But now the precarious balance of OneWorld is tipping as the largest of the global corporations launches the next phase of networking: One Network, or 'ON'. By the time Youren Cartouche, a copywriter working on the advertising campaign for ON, and Constantin Zann, an advanced bio-mechanical detective investigating the strange murder of a human girl, both uncover the truth, they will be fighting for their very existence within a reality disintegrating around them.
