The language of few words (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798693352780)

Verse can't quite remember the future. His daughter Shave says this is just as well - she's from there, and it isn't pretty. He can't remember the future, because his past is too traumatic. All murder and mayhem, pop music and secret societies. Shave helps keep him focused. Focused on important things, like saving their friend Copper. Copper's been re-platformed in a bad way by bad men who want to commoditise 'time'. They'll sell it piecemeal, like property to the powerful. As long as they have Copper's mind fastened down and fanned out, ready for farming. That's how they power their terrible Artificial Emotions. That's how they'll plunder 'time'. But Verse speaks the language of few words. This makes him adept at manifesting incongruous outcomes. They'll stop at nothing to stop him. Even when he surrenders. Even when Verse walks into their tech lair and calmly asks for sanctuary. Shave says that will be dumb, says she couldn't believe it, raps her knuckles on his head and pleads with him to remember the future - while there's still time.
