London's semi-tropical climate means that it is now surrounded by paddy-fields. Londoners, like plants, feed off the sun. The young, raised in Child Gardens, are educated by viruses: information, culture, law and politics are biological functions. The Consensus oversees the country, "treating" non-conformism. But Milena is different: she is resistant to the viruses - and she is capable of changing the world.
