About This Book

A young woman develops a baffling, persistent headache that coincides with rising jealousy and tension among the three-person team that operates a collective brain-machine high in a sprawling urban tower. Daily routines, technological procedures, and social frictions—especially between her and a flirtatious teammate—heighten her anxiety and suspicion. The personal strain and questions about psychosomatic illness intersect with an unsettling outside element when she encounters a man from Mars whose presence draws her away and ultimately carries her to the Red Planet, raising ambiguous questions about mind, group conditioning, and external influence.
