Book description
Life on New Mars is tough for humans, but death's only a minor
inconvenience. The machines know their place, and only the
Abolitionists object.
Until a young man walks into Ship City, a clone who remembers Jon
Wilde's life as an anarchist with nuclear capability, who was accused
of losing World War 3. He also remembers Dave Reid, the city's boss,
who haunts Wilde's memory to the end ... a cold death in Kazakhstan.
In Reid's cyborg concubine, Dee Model, both men see the image of their
obsessions, and information that wants to be free. But she has ideas
of her own ...
THE STONE CANAL moves from the recent past into a distant future,
where long lives and strange deaths await those who survive the wars
and revolutions to come.
Since graduating from Glasgow University in 1976, Ken MacLeod has
worked as a computer analyst in Edinburgh. He now writes full time.
