Description:

With Gaia's Toys, Ore takes us on a riveting journey to a dark and brooding American future. It's a wicked, dystopic Disneyland: 

where gene restructuring is the norm and everyone's plugged into their computers (which is where the authorities want them); 

where if you don't have a job, your only option is to become a welfare drone, your head in the military cyberspace... and your memory a thing of the past;

 where saving endangered species in micro-eco bubbles has become a fad with intellectuals and the wealthy, but children go hungry in the streets.

And where a group of eco-terrorists have banded together to stop the creation of an insidious new genetic mutation - a weapon that the government will use to rob Americans of their last scrap of freedom.
