The boundaries between the real and the virtual break down in this literary SF thriller from the author of If Then and The Destructives
Once, Nelson was a radical journalist, but now he works for Monad, the corporation that makes the Dr Easys, the androids which police London's streets. They also make the Red Men, versions of real people imagined by a shadowy artificial intelligence... and they're looking to expand the program.
Nelson creates Redtown, a digital version of a suburb, where the deepest secrets and desires of its citizens can be catalogued and studied. But the project's goals are increasingly authoritarian and potentially catastrophic. As the boundaries between Redtown and the real world break down and revolution against the Red Men is imminent, Nelson is forced to choose between the corporation and his family.
