Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town
Description
In a near-future Ontario shaped by rapid technological change, a young man with an extraordinary and deeply complicated family history tries to build a new life on his own terms. As he becomes involved in a community wireless-network project, he encounters entrepreneurs, activists, criminals, and neighbors whose ambitions challenge his hopes for connection and independence. Blending speculative fiction, cyberpunk energy, and social satire, the novel explores identity, technology, community, and the uneasy relationship between innovation and exploitation. It is an inventive, fast-moving story that treats the internet as both a tool for liberation and a reflection of human complexity.
