The world is a paradise-and then, in amoment, it ends.

The council that controls the Net falls out and goes to war. Everywhere, people who have never known a moment of want or pain are leftwondering how to survive. Butscattered across the face of the Earth are communities that have returned to thenatural life of soil and small farm.
