<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The acclaimed author of Empire of the Sun takes an Apollo team one hundred years into the future of America. In Las Vegas they encounter President Charles Manson in an electronic oasis. He is threatening games with leftover nuclear weapons, with more than the Marilyn Monroe holograms at stake.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Following the energy crisis of the late twentieth century, America has been abandoned. Now, a century later, a small group of European explorers returns to the now climatically mutated continent. But America is unrecognizable--the Bering Strait has been dammed and much of the country has become a desert, populated by isolated natives and the bizarre remnants of a disintegrated culture. The expedition sets off from Manhattan on a cross-country journey, through Holiday Inns and abandoned theme parks, to uncover a shocking new power in the heart of Las Vegas.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A mythically resonant epic journey...a joy--witty, playful, moving, mythic, poetic.-- "Literary Review"<br><br>Enter Mr Ballard's worlds and you become entranced in a séance difficult to break out of, so powerful is his method.-- "The Times (London)"<br>
