Publisher Description: It is twenty years into the future, PERCS, J-picts, G-belts, and other prevailing communication devices emit harmful wavicles that threaten to cause a worldwide cataclysm. A group of Americans on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land tries to resist the onslaught of electronic emissions with a bit of help from a heavenly messenger sent from Celestia. But will their human efforts be enough to reverse the dangers of an ever-increasing electronic environment? Readers will enjoy this satirical science fiction novel and the questions it provokes about human behavior and the use of information technology. Although the events in the novel surrounding Google personnel or Google as an institution are fictitious, the novel explores a pertinent question surrounding the actions of the pixel giant of the twenty-first century: Does Google know best? |
