The time is a few decades from now, the place what used to be the United States, now disrupted by internal factionalism as well as a short-lived foreign invasion.
Out of this chaotic background Ron Goulart has produced a swift-moving, witty and constantly delightful novel, a story of a future odyssey through:
* The Nixon Institute, where aging former rock stars reminisce about the days when they still had hair
* The wide-open sin-town of San Rafael, run by the Amateur Mafia (no Italians allowed)
* Vienna West, a detailed replica of Sigmund Freud's 19th Century city where psychiatric patients live and react together
* The Monterey Mechanical Jazz Festival, featuring the music of pinball machines, jack hammers and Laundromat washers…
All this plus a dozen or two of the oddest characters you're ever likely to meet.
