Love Minus Eighty - Tapa blanda

"How do we keep on connecting in our ever-growing maze of social technologies? How can love succeed in the techno-surround we've trapped ourselves in?

The stirring result casts a clear and knowing eye on our current society, from the best viewpoint of all: the future."--New York Times bestselling author Kim Stanley Robinson on Love Minus Eighty
