This novel is a satirical skewer through the shrunken heart of Reality TV. A "what if" speculative fiction scenario about an abandoned city and 32 semi-famous morons desperate to get more famous and then they find a bunch of guns and uh oh.
In the 23rd century, people create "agents" that inhabit, respond, and act in cyberspace without human direction. What happens when a genius psychopathic killer crafts a malevolent agent and plants it on a generational starship?
