Cyberbabe Justine Duval, star of Love. In Cyberia, Wild Child, and Virtual Sexual Reality, returns in this futuristic time-travelling romance. If you are someone who extols the virtues of the latest technology, but you are equally frustrated by its limitations, and loathe the inflexibility of control systems gone mad, you will enjoy transporting with Justine to the year 3001, where she visits the Upside home of Los, her gorgeous E-boyfriend. On the Upside everyone lives a thrilling virtual life after simulated sunset and on Saturday evening the cool gang get a buzz from visiting the seedy Downside of town. The problem is that the Upsiders have lost the capacity for genuine human emotion-and justine is head-over-heels-in-love! Will Justine get her man? Will she get back to 1998? Rayban's witty sci-fi meets teenage angst novel with a touch of parody will not disappoint her fans.
