About the Book
This fast-paced action novel is set in a future where the world has been almost destroyed.
It's the story of an epileptic
teenager nicknamed Spaz, who begins the heroic fight to bring human
intelligence back to the planet. In a world where most people are
plugged into brain-drain entertainment systems, Spaz is the rare human
being who can see life as it really is. When he meets an old man called
Ryter, he begins to learn about Earth and its past. With Ryter as his
companion, Spaz sets off an unlikely quest to save his dying sister --
and in the process, perhaps the world.
