Beskrivning

"Tricia Sullivan's writing is so good it simply invites hyperbole" - SFX"One of the best SF novelists around" - Dreamwatch"It's pure science fiction, and I loved it" - Goodreads ReviewerColonists arrived on the new world of T'nane in a cyber-assisted dream-state, and now the dream induction centre is a key piece of colony infrastructure. The AI program, Ganesh, performs routine functions, helping the colonists work though complex problems, allowing them to govern from their dreams. Kalypso Deed, the human interface needed to watch over the colonists, helps to ensure their survival. However, Kalypso is young and reckless, spending most of her time mixing drinks and playing jazz. When Ganesh's programming begins to fail, and Azamat Marcsson - a biologist undergoing dream induction - runs riot, Kalypso must persuade Marcsson to finish the dream which is destroying Ganesh... and the future of the colony.
