Résumé du livre
The award-winning author of the Tales of the Madman Underground presents a breakneck science fiction novel where a group of fame-seeking friends find themselves in an intergalactic adventure like no other.
It is the year 2129 . . . and fame is all that matters.
Susan and her friends are celebutantes. Their lives are powered by media awareness, fed by engineered meals, and underscored by cynicism. Everyone has a rating; the more viewers who ID you, the better. So Susan and her almost-boyfriend Derlock cook up a surefire plan: the nine of them will visit a Mars-bound spaceship and stow away. Their survival will be a media sensation, boosting their ratings across the globe. There’s only one problem: Derlock is a sociopath.
