THE MESS is a story of resistance in a near-future corporate dystopia. Set in a near-future version of Cincinnati, Ohio, THE MESS is perfect for fans of Neuromancer and Bruce Sterling.
After The Fall, it was the Metanationals, impossibly large, impossibly powerful corporations, who stepped into the vacuum left by a collapsing government. It's their world now; we're all just living in it.
Two worlds, really: At the top, legions of "citizen employees" live and work in a dense forest of supertall interconnected skyscrapers, insulated from the chaos of squabbling megacities, private armies, a deadly climate, and dizzying technological change.
At the bottom, well, we all know what happens at the bottom. We just don't talk about it.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the city ... a Hustler pushes charity on the rich ... a Lawyer begins to suspect his client is not just an idiot, but a dangerous idiot ... a retired Executive is lulled from boredom by a threat only she can truly appreciate ... a Hacker finally gets the attention he craves, but lives to regret it ... And an Addict walks the streets, looking for a reason to die. Once there was one America. Now, there are Nine. Choose your own path while you still can.
