Summary
Nelson is put in charge of Redtown: a virtual city, inhabited by copies of real people going about their daily business, in which policies, diseases and disasters can be studied in perfect simulation. Soon the boundaries between Redtown and the real world become brittle, and Nelson finds himself forced to choose sides: Monad or his family.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:

"Makes Michel Houellebecq seem like Enid Blyton."-Matt Thorne

Nelson used to be a radical journalist, but now he works for Monad, one of the world's leading corporations. Monad makes the Red Men-tireless, intelligent, creative, and entirely virtual corporate workers-and it's looking to expand the program.

Nelson finds himself at the helm of a grand project whose goals appear increasingly authoritarian and potentially catastrophic. As the boundaries between Redtown and the real world become ever more brittle, Nelson finds himself forced to choose sides: the corporation or the community, the real or the virtual.
