A 2022 television series adaptation of the book, produced by Amazon, began streaming October 21. Summary The novel focuses on Flynne and her brother, Burton. When Burton is hired for a security job which takes place in what he thinks is cyberspace and Flynne temporarily takes his place, she witnesses a possible murder.

Notable quotes

“I have already told you of the sickness and confusion that comes with time travelling.”
— Epigraph, taken from H. G. Wells' The Time Machine, chapter 11.
“Actually seeing the polt had been surprisingly interesting...driving, eyes on whatever motorway, seventy-some years earlier, on the far side of the jackpot…Gloriously pre-posthuman. In a state of nature. And hustling, Netherton had soon seen, eye on the money. Improvising, and with utterly unfamiliar material.”
— Chapter 20, "Polt" (short for poltergeist, slang for the long-dead people inside the stubs)
““It is,” said Lowbeer, “as people used to say, to my unending annoyance, what it is."”
— Chapter 80, "The Clovis Limit"
“When Lowbeer wished a conversation in public to be private, which she invariably did, London emptied itself around her.”
— Chapter 4, "The Sandwiches"
““There’s lots of people happier with a dumbfuck in the White House…The people who were the most trouble, under Gonzalez, aren’t unhappy enough, now, to be much trouble at all,” Janice shrugged. “Life in the county, life in these United States.””
— Chapter 20, "Baker-Miller Pink"
““Given this city, and the things most of us do, you’ll have heard that before, ambitious people announcing something innovative, something they believe will drive change, but something they generally haven’t accomplished yet. This isn’t that. This isn’t a pitch.””
— Chapter 107, "Prom Night"
