Third volume of a trilogy, preceded by "Interface" and "Volteface." A Utopian /dystopian work, David Wingrove (in The Science Fiction Source Book) called them 'extraordinarily erudite' and Peter Nicholls (in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction) wrote that the Tcity "books are ambitious in scope and deserve to be more widely known." Multiple themes, including, automation, the media landscape, revolution, leisure, class distinction, and sex are covered in a fascinating and original way.
