Welcome to Los Angeles … where anger , hunger and disease feed rearing , and life and hope are rigorously rationed . This is Jonny ’s cosmos . He ’s a street - wise floozy , a black - marketplace dealer in drug that mend the body and cool the mind . All he cares about is his own survival . Until a foreign pestilence wrick L.A. into a city of dying — and Jonny is forced to put everything on the melodic line to line up the curative . If it can be ascertain . METROPHAGE is an archetype of the cyber-terrorist / near - future SFF genre , rampant with destabilisation / radical change in the social order , A.I. , and a refinement stagger from rapid technical change . It ’s a dark , gritty tale , severalise as only Kadrey could whirl it … and its moral made only more strong with the passage of time .
