"The book opens with the birth of the title character, a wired baby. The Figueroa family is the most famous family on the wires. They are quite literally wired, with an extra network implanted alongside their bodies' nervous systems. They transmit their every sensory impression, up to but not including their thoughts, over the network to a similarly wired population that not-so-vicariously experiences them. The birth of the baby Kalifornia is seen as a last ditch effort at saving the family's sagging ratings". --Stephen P.Brown (in Covert Culture Sourcebook: A Guide to Fringe Culture , 1993).
