About This Book

A long-lived narrator recounts the life of a physically imposing man born into a future society where implanted electronic clerks make most people hyper-competent while a minority of Rejects cannot accept them. The narrator traces the man's lonely upbringing, his exclusion from technical careers, his training in mnemonic arts, and his yearning for space that is denied. Through intimate recollections the account shows how personal isolation, social categorization, and unexpected strengths shape one life that later becomes quietly consequential to humanity.
