| Summary: | It is 2085, and Truckee Wallace, a factory worker in Crunchtown 407 (formerly Little Rock, Arkansas, before the secessions), has no grand ambitions besides maybe, possibly, losing his virginity someday. But when Truckee is thrust unexpectedly into the spotlight he is tapped by the President for a sensitive political mission, to deliver a talking goat across the continent. The fate of the world depends upon it. The problem is, Truckee's not sure it's worth it. Joined on the road by an android who wants to be human and a former convict lobotomized in Texas, Truckee will navigate an environmentally depleted and lawless continent with devastating, and hilarious, parallels to our own, dodging body pickers and Elvis-worshippers and logo girls, body subbers and VR addicts. Elvis willing, he may even lose his virginity. |
