Description

"A novel written in cyberspace, Nearly Roadkill is an Infobahn erotic thriller without any boundaries - virtual, sexual, legal, or otherwise. What-appears-to-be Boy meets what-appears-to-be Girl. But their world is the Net, where any persona - and any gender - can be created. They pose as a host of different personalities, switching identities and genders as quickly as they create passwords. Named Scratch and Winc, these two genderless beings cybersurf into the various worlds on the Net as they fight government intervention on this final frontier."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Media reviews

Library Journal

"Written almost entirely as a series of online discussions and transcripts of messages (complete with E-mail typography), the novel intermingles serious issues of gender identity, censorship, and control of the Internet with lots of hetero- and homosexual cybersex and details of chat rooms devoted

to various specialized interests."

Imagine a world in which it is illegal to not view a certain amount of advertising that the government wants you to see because the govt gets financed by commercial companies showing you advertisements.
