Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town - Cory Doctorow

Descriere Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town - Cory Doctorow

\n \nThe repackaged trade paperback of Cory Doctorow's miraculous novel of family history, Internet connectivity, and magical secrets--now with a new cover! \n \nAlan is a middle-aged entrepeneur who moves to a bohemian neighborhood of Toronto. Living next door is a young woman who reveals to him that she has wings--which grow back after each attempt to cut them off. \n \nAlan understands. He himself has a secret or two. His father is a mountain, his mother is a washing machine, and among his brothers are sets of Russian nesting dolls. \n \nNow two of the three dolls are on his doorstep, starving, because their innermost member has vanished. It appears that Davey, another brother who Alan and his siblings killed years ago, may have returned, bent on revenge. \n \nUnder the circumstances it seems only reasonable for Alan to join a scheme to blanket Toronto with free wireless Internet, spearheaded by a brilliant technopunk who builds miracles from scavenged parts. But Alan's past won't leave him alone--and Davey isn't the only one gunning for him and his friends. \n \nWhipsawing between the preposterous, the amazing, and the deeply felt, Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town is unlike any novel you have ever read.\n
