Shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Honor 2017. A worldwide diaspora has remaining a quarter of a million people at the ft . of a space station. Civilizations collide in real life and virtual actuality. The city is literally a weed, its growth remaining unchecked. Life is cheap, and data is cheaper. When Boris Chong comes back to Tel Aviv from Mars, much has transformed. Boris' ex-lover is elevating a strangely familiar child who are able to tap into the datastream of a head with the touch of a finger. His cousin is infatuated with a robotnik - a damaged cyborg soldier who might as well be begging for parts. His dad is terminally ill with a multigenerational mind-plague. And a hunted data-vampire has used Boris to where she is forbidden to come back. Increasing above them is Central Station, the interplanetary hub between all things: the constantly moving Tel Aviv, a robust virtual arena, and the space colonies where mankind has gone to flee the ravages of poverty and warfare. Everything is linked by the Others, powerful alien entities who, through the Chat - a shifting, streaming stream of awareness - are just the beginning of irrevocable change. At Central Station, humans and machines continue to adapt, prosper...and even progress.
