"...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 intersection of Information and Romance in the
late 90s era of globalization. A subtle and canny satire of misplaced loyalties and
lost connections, this debut novel, told by an unseen hand, moves rapidly from
Amsterdam to Silicon Valley, to rural India and beyond, in an exploration of the
tempting vision that we deserve all of our desire.
This is a post-national novel about the adventurer, the patriot, the internationalist,
the hacker, the thinker, the traveler, the loner, and the lover in all of us. As the
strange new world of globalization continues to emerge from the shadows of the
technology boom and crash of the late last century, Mobility Lounge becomes
less a cautionary tale about the near historical past and more than ever a vision of
the future we may soon all inhabit.

Number One Fact is the impossibility of ever leaving the planet..."
