It's the year 2147. Advancements in nanotechnology have enabled us to
control aging. We've genetically engineered mosquitoes to feast on
carbon fumes instead of blood, ending air pollution. And teleportation
has become the ideal mode of transportation, offered exclusively by
International Transport - a secretive firm headquartered in New York
City. Their slogan: Departure...Arrival...Delight!
Joel Byram, our smartass protagonist, is an everyday 22nd century guy.
He spends his days training artificial-intelligence engines to act more
human, jamming out to 1980s new wave - an extremely obscure genre - and
trying to salvage his deteriorating marriage. Joel is pretty much an
everyday guy with everyday problems - until he's accidentally duplicated
while teleporting. Now Joel must outsmart the shadowy organization that
controls teleportation, outrun the religious sect out to destroy it, and
find a way to get back to the woman he loves in a world that now has two
of him.
