- Synopsis
- There's a pig man at your window, and he's hungry. A hideous face hides a beautiful soul, physical perfection conceals monstrosity, death becomes eternal life, and the greatest liar of them all must learn to tell the truth, and do the one right thing. This is the world of Imago. Something has gone very wrong with this world. Changed freaks, victims of the Human Mutational Virus, roam California's streets. In the virtual world of Imago, something has gone very wrong. In the real world, changed freaks, victims of the Human Mutational Virus, roam California's streets. Imagos and freaks are set on a collision course that will either destroy their world, or redeem it. DisLex, the entertainment utility, monitors everyone's lives; yet few know that DisLex not only controls life, it has created it: perfect virtual constructs who can never die -- the Imagos. DisLex chairman Harmon Jacques wanted to grow up to rule the world. He's well on his way. For the freaks, he's built Camp Roberts: the outcasts go in, but the only way they come out is in a body bag. For everyone else, he's created the PerfectTown, home for the Imagos, and the way the future is going to be. Chief among the Imagos is a guy named Dick, a virtual reconstruction of the memories of the 37th President of the United States: Richard M. Nixon. When Dick meets Harmon's idealistic young assistant Julie Curtez, Imagos and freaks are set on a collision course that will either destroy their world, or redeem it.
