From the New York Times Bestselling author of Lovecraft Country,
now an HBO series. High above Manhattan android and human
steelworkers are constructing a new Tower of Babel for billionaire
Harry Gant, as a monument to humanity's power to dream. In the
festering sewers below a darker game is afoot: a Wall Street
takeover artist has been murdered, and Gant's crusading ex-wife,
Joan Fine, has been hired to find out why. The year is 2023, and
Ayn Rand has been resurrected and bottled in a hurricane lamp to
serve as Joan's assistant; an eco-terrorist named Philo Dufrense
travels in a pink-and-green submarine designed by Howard Hughes; a
Volkswagen Beetle is possessed by the spirit of Abbey Hoffman;
Meisterbrau, a mutant great white shark, is running loose in the
sewers beneath Times Square; and a one-armed 181-year-old Civil War
veteran joins Joan and Ayn in their quest for the truth. All of
whom, and many more besides, are caught up in a vast conspiracy
involving Walt Disney, J. Edgar Hoover, and a mob of homicidal
robots.
