"The H LYW OD sign presides over a Los Angeles devastated by a weaponized microbe that has been accidentally spread around the globe, deleting human identity. In post-NK3 Los Angeles, a sixty-foot-tall fence surrounds the hills where the rich used to live, but the mansions have been taken over by those with the only power that matters: the power of memory. Life for the community inside the Fence, ruled over by the new aristocracy, the Verified, is a perpetual party. Outside the Fence, in downtown Los Angeles, the Verified use an invented mythology to keep control over the mindless and nameless Drifters, Shamblers, and Bottle Bangers who serve the gift economy until no longer needed. The ruler, Chief, takes his guidance from gigantic effigies of a man and a woman in the heart of the Fence. They warn him of trouble to come, but who is the person to watch: the elusive Eckmann, holed up with the last functioning plane at LAX; Shannon Squier, the chisel-wielding pop superstar from the pre-NK3 world, pulled from the shambling masses; a treacherous member of Chief's inner circle; or Hopper, the uncommon Drifter compelled by an inner voice to search for a wife whose name and face he doesn't know? Each threatens to upset the delicate power balance in this fragile world. In deliciously dark prose, Tolkin winds a noose-like plot around this melee of despots, prophets, and rebels as they struggle for command and survival in a town that still manages to exert a magnetic force, even as a ruined husk"--… (más)

Kim Jong Un decides to quit messing around and releases an airborne virus that is borne through the air, globally. Now, many humans are dead and those that are left over can't remember who they were, or how to do what they used to do. How would the city you live in survive? If you got sick and went to the hospital, could anyone remember what to do to save your life? Would the food run out? Would electricity keep going? Water? Sewage systems?

I loved this book, but what happened to the airplane? ( )

Wow, what a disappointment. No character development or back stories. Plodding plot that goes nowhere.

The only reason I gave this one star was because I listened to the audiobook: MacLeod Andrews is such an outstanding narrator.
