No longer questioning what lies beyond their compound, they occupy themselves with domestic chores, virtual fantasies, and the occasional neighborhood arms race.William D. “Dad” Johnson, cantankerous patriarch of the Johnson clan, ought to be a figurehead of his staunchly generic community. Instead, he finds himself in the role of rebel, at odds with his neighbors as well as his family, once he begins to question the designs of the sinister Dr. Edison in shaping every aspect of their lives.

Dick.” – Publishers Weekly“Laidlaw’s first novel pokes vicious fun at a world where high-tech runs rampant. A macabre debut.” – Library Journal“If you have doubts about where our society is headed—and Pogo said it best—this is must reading.
