"...The Age of Information is the Age of Limits..."
A hesitant young man marries a French traveler to save his apartment,
a brown Englishman struggles against his sense of invisible limits, a
reluctant beauty aims at personal freedom despite the fears of her relatives
and friends - these are the interlaced stories of exuberance in this digital era romance.
Mobility Lounge chronicles the advent and exploitation of the dream of long
distance travel without leaving your chair. This novel of remote connections,
told by an unseen hand, moves rapidly from Amsterdam to techno trance
Europe, from Silicon Valley to rural India, exploring the tempting vision that
we deserve all of our desire.
A novel with no villains or innocent victims, Mobility Lounge proposes a new
reading of shared affinities and challenges outside the confines of national space.
The adventurer, the patriot, the internationalist, the hacker, the thinker, the traveler,
the loner, and the lover all appear and take their turns in this portrait of the frontier
of global think, a strange new world that continues to emerge from the shadows after
the technology boom and crash of the late last century.
"...The imagination has been constrained by facts.
Number One Fact is the impossibility of ever leaving the planet..."
