Publisher's summary

A frighteningly persuasive, high-tech fable, this novel follows the lives of four narrators living in an alternative futuristic Cape Town, South Africa.

Kendra, an art-school dropout, brands herself for a nanotech marketing program; Lerato, an ambitious AIDS baby, plots to defect from her corporate employers; Tendeka, a hot-headed activist, is becoming increasingly rabid; and Toby, a roguish blogger, discovers that the video games he plays for cash are much more than they seem.

On a collision course that will rewire their lives, this story crackles with bold and infectious ideas, connecting a ruthless corporate-apartheid government with video games, biotech attack dogs, slippery online identities, a township soccer school, shocking cell phones, addictive branding, and genetically modified art.

Critic reviews

"Moxyland does lots of things, masterfully, that lots of sf never even guesses that it could be doing." (William Gibson)

"The larval form of a new kind of SF munching its way out of the intestines of the wasp-paralysed caterpillar of cyberpunk." (Charles Stross)

"A technicolour jazzy rollercoaster ride into a dazzling hell." (André Brink)
