Publisher’s description

In the near future, gonzo journalist/cult author Spider Jerusalem lives fast and loose in The City--a chaotic melting pot of cultures, subcultures, lifeforms, and technologies. Mastermind writer Warren Ellis (THE AUTHORITY) delivers this sharp, manic, anything-goes extrapolation of urban life.
