David Lincoln has captured a world we all know of, but cannot but our hands on. It is a virtual reality inhabited by us still frail, fickle human beings bumbling around and against each other. The writer's observations are astute and funny: we know these lost souls. For a funny, stimulating read, try this one.

David Lincoln's lyrical prose shines in this book that flashes around the globe, as his characters muse over the big questions in life; love, happiness, fulfillment. One wanders through the airport, watching people coming and going, wondering what they are thinking. One finds a new start in life in a new city, and one global wanderer finds fleeting happiness in a palm tree outside his window. Everyone who has traveled, who has felt confined by the daily grind in a mundane job, or who has fallen in love will see themselves in this book. Mixing poetry and prose, in a style similar to Michael Ondaatje, David Lincoln's writing strikes a familiar chord. He is a new voice that should be read.

A picaresque story of reality artists and fin-de-cycle tech types trying to find themselves in a world inverted by the blandishments of bauble capital.

Looking forward to a sequel, which I hope will be titled MOTILITY BLOG!
