The time: Some thirty-five years hence. The place: AutoAmerica--governed by "Aunt Nettie," an iBurrito of AI algorithms and the internet, in a land half under water. The people: Divided into the angelfair "Netted," whose fate it is to have jobs and live on high ground, and the mostly coppertoned "Surplus," whose jobs have been stripped and whose sole duty now is to consume, living in plastic houses that talk and multi-colored houseboats at the water's edge. Neither group is happy. The story: A Surplus family--he was once a professor, she is still a lawyer--has a girl child, Gwen, who's born with a golden arm. By two she can throw her toy animals straight to the same spot every time. When AutoAmerica and ChinRussia decide to revive the Olympics, suddenly Gwen, who's been playing in the Resisters League her parents have organized, is in great demand. Soon she's at angelfair university, Net U, falling in love with her baseball coach and facing questions of "crossing over," while her mother and her "group" are bringing charges before the botjudge about Surplus rights. An amazing story of a world that looks only too possible, and a family struggling to maintain its humanity in circumstances that daily threaten their every value as well as their very existence."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a American literature $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Families $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social conflict $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social classes $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women baseball players $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sports and state $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Twenty-first century $v Fiction. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Artificial intelligence $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Artificial intelligence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817247 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Social classes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122346 650 7 $a Social conflict. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122378 650 7 $a Sports and state. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130564 650 7 $a Twenty-first century. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01159816 650 7 $a Women baseball players. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177347 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtxgQXMWqmjMjjwXRHgrq 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Dystopian fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921637 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726489 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Dystopian fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417024328.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D79B43AFC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
