'I am Zhang, alone with my light, and in that light I think for a
moment that I am free.' Imagine a world where Chinese Marxism has
vanquished the values of capitalism and Lenin is the prophet of
choice. A cybernetic world where the new charioteers are flyers,
human-powered kites dancing in the skies over New York in a brief
grab at glory. A world where the opulence of Beijing marks a new
cultural imperialism, as wealthy urbanites flirt with interactive
death in illegal speakeasies, and where Arctic research stations
and communes on Mars are haunted by their own fragile dangers. A
world of fear and hope, of global disaster and slow healing, where
progress can only be found in the cracks of a crumbling hegemony.
This is the world of Zhang. An anti-hero who's still finding his
way, treading a path through a totalitarian order - a path that
just might make a difference.
