"After several periods of virus induced transit, at the revised age of sixty-five, he wakes on Mars. Someone is looking for him. And Quare is not sure he can hide again, or that he wants to. Putting together the lost memories from recorded hypertext is getting more and more difficult, but without memories he cannot know what there is to escape.

"Finding the real Joshua Ali Quare takes us through a century of history -- the mutAIDS plague that decimates world population, Eurowar, the collapse of the nation state and the industrialisation of space." [jacket blurb, UK trade pbk, 1995]
