Overview

Returning to science fiction for the first time since his acclaimed, visionary Blue Light, Walter Mosley mixes cyberpunk with biting social commentary and masterful literary skill.

Walter Mosley, award-winning author of the nationally bestselling Easy Rawlins series and the New York Times Notable Book of the Year Blue Light, presents nine vivid, stunning tales of survival in an immediate tomorrow...

FUTURELAND

A generation from now, things aren't much different from today: The drugs are better, the daily grind is worse. The world's knowledge fits on a chip in your little finger, the Constitution doesn't apply to individuals, and it's a crime to be poor.

And for all its denizens, from technocrats to terrorists, celebs to crooks, FUTURELAND is a glorious All-American nightmare that's just around the corner...
