Slant
The fourth volume in a loose series that began with Queen of Angels , and continued with Heads and Moving Mars . Half of the population is addicted to a new form of virtual reality and the other half suffers personality breakdowns as a result of therapy designed to keep them happy. Meanwhile, two super computers that have each managed to become sentient, struggle to control the destiny of a nation, and one lowly thief, who is not what he seems, begins to discover things about himself that even he didn`t know.
