The president of Memini, the greatest of the all-powerful megacorporations ("conglobulates") believes that he is still only a high-school senior--and that he is living inside a videogame that he must outwit in order to graduate.? Meminet, the venerable computer personality that manages the managers of Memini, must race to keep its unhinged president from triggering the meltdown of Antarctica and thus destroying civilization.

Daniel Pearlman is a master of the literary fantastic. His stories expand the imagination as he explores the boundaries of our world and enters the hazy penumbra of perception. These twelve stories are like no funhouse mirror you've ever seen before.
