AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Zed Burton loves sport, alcohol, fast food and girls … he’s a fairly normal 15-year-old of the future. But normality has its risks. When Earth is taken over by ultra-conservative forces, it isn’t long before the Morality Police come knocking on his door. Before he wakes up to the danger facing him, his life takes a downward spiral that will see his mother condemned to poverty and disgrace and himself exiled to one of Jupiter’s moons, Callisto … exiled for life. There, he encounters a bizarre human colony where every adult is a shrink and where head transplants are more popular than facelifts. The Moon Governor has special plans for him but she won’t say what. Will he be able to keep his body intact? Will he ever make it back to Earth to see his mother and to set things right? A thoroughly surprising story about sanity, suffering and sin in the youth of tomorrow. Could we really end up like this?'
