I'd never heard of it before. It takes place in the 24th-century, after the fall of a US world empire, and seems quite prescient. It analyzes the role of the media in packaging, selling, and thus shaping history and historical truth. Surprisingly, Carter hasn't written any more novels, only short stories. He is also credited with creating the first site to be named a weblog. Thanks for making us aware of it.
