Plugged into the knowledge of the computer, Tomi is soon to become a Lord. In the underground city within the dome of Arc One there is a rigid class society of Lords, Soldiers and Slaves. No one leaves the Dome. Nobody would wish to risk the chaos outside – except perhaps for the slaves. When the slaves riot Tomi falls down a garbage chute into the river and is carried by it into a very different world – a world without technology, but with a dangerous sort of freedom.
