About This Book

The narrative follows a blind newsstand operator, Duggan, who uses funds from a speculative pool to rent a super mech that reconnects directly to his brain and temporarily restores sight. Experiencing sensory richness and renewed independence, he contemplates divorce and a return to dangerous deep-level tunneling work under Appalachia City, assumes a false identity to obtain employment as a rock hog, and confronts the ethical and emotional costs of reclaiming agency through technology.
