The two main protagonists, a nameless narrator, and his unreliable partner Kad, are rebels who want to find out the truth. I absolutely love this book, as it challenges our vision of technological progress and what we assume is our identity. Remarkably well written and with a fantastic pace, it is, in my eyes, a true underground classic, on par with William Gibson’s world-famous Neuromancer.
