Book excerpt: A media mogul is targeted by his own clone in this near-future cyberpunk thriller from the author of the Merquan Chronicles. What do a cunning old man, a code-slopper gone rogue, a pair of lowlife tech-runners, a sexually frustrated AI, and a hermaphrodite underworld boss have in common? They’re all out to get Benito Funcitti, owner of the first lunar resort: Fun City. Oh, who’s that old man? He’s Benito Funcitti too, thanks to a TeleCompositor “accident” that left behind a double who shouldn’t exist. With two Benitos squaring off, the adventure is sure to include daring, fun, and maybe a little something on the side. Jeff Bredenberg’s classic of 1980s cyberpunk has been refurbished for modern audiences, presenting an image of the near future that’s both divergent and immediate.
