At Central Station, humans and machines continue to adapt, thrive...and even evolve..
Everything is connected by the Others, powerful alien entities who, through the Conversation--a shifting, flowing stream of consciousness--are just the beginning of irrevocable change.
Rising above them is Central Station, the interplanetary hub between all things: the constantly shifting Tel Aviv; a powerful virtual arena, and the space colonies where humanity has gone to escape the ravages of poverty and war.
And a hunted data-vampire has followed Boris to where she is forbidden to return.
His father is terminally-ill with a multigenerational mind-plague.
His cousin is infatuated with a robotnik--a damaged cyborg soldier who might as well be begging for parts.
Boris\'s ex-lover is raising a strangely familiar child who can tap into the datastream of a mind with the touch of a finger.
When Boris Chong returns to Tel Aviv from Mars, much has changed.
Life is cheap, and data is cheaper.
The city is literally a weed, its growth left unchecked.
Cultures collide in real life and virtual reality. --Warren Ellis, author of Transmetropolitan and Gun Machine A worldwide diaspora has left a quarter of a million people at the foot of a space station.
Clarke Award nominee It\'s all of science fiction distilled into a single book.
