"Hundreds of miles away from the techno-utopia of Kathmandu, the all-powerful, all-seeing AI known as Karma has gone silent, leaving the ravaged city of Chittagong--along with all its remaining residents--to continue its inexorable fall into the sea. Kundo, once a famous artist with the karma points to prove it, goes searching for his missing wife, only to uncover more inexplicable disappearances. And so Kundo and a group of motley companions embark on a tumultuous journey through the overwhelming maze made up of Chittagong's neighborhoods, the hidden back rooms of video game parlors, and th e depths of cyberspace, culminating in the realm of the djinn themselves, in search of love, redemption, and a good meal."--Page 4 of cover.
