He was the most dangerous fugitive, but didn't exist! Nickie Haflinger had lived several lifetimes…but technically never existed. He was originally a fugitive from Tarnover, the incredibly powerful government think tank that educated him. First he had broken his identity code-then he made his escape. Now he needed to find a way to restore sanity and freedom to the computerized masses and save a world nearing the brink of disaster. He didn't care how he accomplished this-but the government did. That's when his Tarnover teachers took him back into their labs, where Nickie Haflinger was set up to receive a whole new education. "When John Brunner first told me of his intention to write this book, I was fascinated…A hero with transient personalities, animals with souls, think tanks, and survival communities fuse to form a future so plausibly alive it has twitched at me ever since." "A compelling story of a future world tied together by a universal data network, a world that could be our tomorrow." "Brunner writes about the future as if he and the reader were already living in it."
