Lerato, an ambitious AIDS baby, plots to defect from her corporate employers. Tendeka, a hot-headed activist, is becoming increasingly rabid. Toby, a roguish blogger, discovers that the video games he plays for cash are much more than they seem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e On a collision course that will rewire their lives, these characters crackle with bold and infectious ideas, connecting a ruthless corporate-apartheid government with video games, biotech attack dogs, slippery online identities, a township soccer school, shocking cell phones, addictive branding, and genetically modified art. Taking hedonistic trends in society to their ultimate conclusions, Lauren Beukes spins a tale of a utopia gone wrong, satirically undermining the idea of progress as society's white knight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mulholland Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316267915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lauren Beukes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38471906951349,"sku":"9780316267915","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_11ecb94e-cb3c-4509-a750-4d7b37b5008c.jpg?v=1612932840","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/moxyland-9780316267915","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
