Description
In the 21st century, Europe is divided between two worlds. On one side, the wealthy elite have risen to power thanks to nanotechnology and cheap labour from genetically engineered Dolls. On the other, refugees and homeless people struggle to survive in a world ravaged by war and economic collapse. Alex Sharkey, a designer of psychoactive viruses, finds himself caught up in this conflict. He forms an unlikely alliance with Milena, a young girl who has created a new breed of being - the fairies. These beings are not just creations, but have their own desires and agendas. As Milena's intentions become clear, Alex must navigate a complex web of power and danger. In this gripping novel, Paul McAuley explores a world on the brink of chaos, where the boundaries between human and machine are increasingly blurred.
