Annotation:
In this trippy debut work of speculative fiction, Elijah Clearwater, a generously endowed amnesic with floor-length blond hair and part of a quotation carved into his back, wanders through a near-future America controlled by a private corporation and populated by a variety of colorful characters (including sentient holographic cartoon animals) in search of his memories and his family.
