AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'A tongue-in-cheek satire on corporate business, cyberpunk, and nanotechnology. Brosnan's wired-up hero is forced against his will to take on the alien Opoponax before humanity is converted to their cause. Brosnan flits through
time and space from Nazi Paris to Perth in 1958 (which is
worse?) to the far future (Colin Steele, SF Commentary No 77, p.53).
