WouldnÕt you like the chance to live your life all over again? Well, not actually all of it, and ... well, not exactly yours, either, but a new life! WouldnÕt you like the chance to start again, somewhere new, reborn, with everything different? You might. But you might want a bit of warning first. To start again a half-century from now, with a new you - younger, fitter, tireless, alert, perfectly pitched, balanced as a dancer, strong as a horse (so what would be your first question?) And utterly lost, forsaken, your only friends a woman without a clue and a talking dog, and just how much can one dog have to say? Jeremy Grey had no warning at all, when he was struck out of the world like an error and never seen again. Not as such. How do you know itÕs the future? Because itÕs like nothing you ever expected. A darkly comic look at the near future of consciousness, post-organic intelligence, law enforcement, management consultancy, money, the weather, and synthetic love.
