As pervasive technology ensures the rapid spread of pop culture and information access, few corners of the planet remain untouched. One of those few is Kizuldah, Karzistan, a tiny rice-farming village, predominantly Chinese Buddhist but with a strong Muslim presence, among whom sharply intelligent though illiterate Mae Chung, a self-styled fashion expert guiding the village women in dress, make-up and hairstyling, is an informal leader. The UN decides to test the radical new technology, Air, which causes death, destruction and confusion.The UN delays fully implementing the technology but Mae sees at once that her way of life is ending. Half-mad, struggling with information overload, the resentment of much of the village, and a complex family situation, she works fiercely to learn what she needs to ride the tiger of change.* A FINE copy of the 1st. 1st. fnl. with NO MAJOR FAULTS. Now in clear un-attached protective wrapper.* 0
