It's winter in New Hampshire, the economy is booming, the vice
president is running for president, and his Secret Service people
are very, very tense. Meet Vi Asplund, a young Secret Service agent
mourning her dead father. She goes home to New Hampshire to see her
brother Jens, a computer genius who just might be going mad and is
poised to make a fortune on Big If, a viciously nihilistic computer
game aimed at teenagers. Vi's America, as she sees it in the
crowds, in her brother, and in her fellow agents, is affluent,
anxious, and abuzz with vague fantasies of violence. Through a
gallery of vivid characters heroic, ignoble, or desperate Mark
Costello's hilarious novel limns the strategies, both sound and
absurd, that we conjure to survive in daily life.
