Desc: The body is baggage. The soul is expendable. Nemo's mother and father left him behind to enter "the Bin"--joining twelve billion uploaded personalities who live in crime-free disease-free and deathless virtual societies. Nemo has come of age on a dangerous near-deserted planet populated by a handful of stragglers: religious fundamentalists and rebels the creeps and the crazies. Now he is twenty-one. And on a rare reluctant visit to the parents who abandoned their flesh and blood son for cyber-utopia Nemo has met the perfect woman: a new Bin arrival named Justine a beautiful pop singer who dreams other people's dreams in the virtual night. Now an inconvenient attraction is leading two lovers into a perilous mire of irreversible choice. For Justine has no body to return to. And Nemo the renegade has sworn never to sacrifice his own; to live age and die instead in a bleak earthly hell. Because as an outsider he may enter the Bin for short periods of time. But if he ever decides to stay...there will be no way out again.
