If it isn't religeous radicals or nuclear armageddon, then the nightmare future must be the result of rampant capitalism. Sure enough, Jack Dann weaves a tale of a world ruled by mega-corporations. But at the root, this is the story of a man desparately seeking a woman he's lost in a world that's terrified of people with psychic abilities. Morality has been turned on its head in this world, with new levels of decadence. Its an interesting take on a familiar theme. The book won several awards and has been well-reviewed elsewhere. I was not enjoying it enough to read it through and left the world in chaos without regret.
