The place: AutoAmerica, a country surveilled by one \"Aunt Nettie,\" a Big Brother that is part artificial intelligence, part internet, and oddly human--even funny. The people: divided. The \"angelfair\" Netted have jobs and, what with the country half under water, literally occupy the high ground.
