Numa cidade do Futuro onde o Capitalismo é a única religião, a vida humana tem pouco valor. O conhecimento de um mundo exterior é considerado herético, e as pessoas dentro da Cidade desconhecem que alguma vez as coisas foram diferentes. Ainda assim, parecem condenadas a repetir alguns dos nossos piores erros.Purple, tendo descarregado a internet para a sua própria mente, é atormentada por uma multiplicidade de perspectivas. Cópias da sua amiga andam pelas ruas, exploradas como uma nova classe subalterna, e a própria Purple deixou de experienciar o tempo de forma linear.Tudo é hipertexto.
