Post-quake San Francisco. First novel. Followed by a sequel, Cyberweb .
"High above the dangerous streets of post-quake San Francisco Island, mechanically modified professionals link minds in a cybernetic 'telespace' to push through deals and legal decisions at lightning speed. But unexplained telelink blackouts and bizarre hallucinations have marred attorney Carly Nolan's debut appearance before a computer-generated court -- forcing her to consider delicate psychic surgery at the hands of robot therapist Prober Spinner. And suddenly the ambitious young lawyer is at risk in a deadly Artificial Intelligence scheme to steal human souls -- because the ghosts of Carly's unconscious may be a prize well worth killing for." [jacket blurb, US pbk, 1992]
"Cyberspace robots vs drug-addict San Francisco lawyer-careerists. Weirdissimo." --Bruce Sterling (1992).
