Publisher Comments:

Art-school dropout Kendra brands herself for a nanotech marketing program; Lerato, an ambitious Aidsbaby, plots to defect from her corporate employers; Tendeka, a hot-headed activist, is becoming increasingly rabid; and rogueish blogger Toby discovers that the video games he plays for cash are much more - the narrators of Moxyland are on a collision course that will rewire their lives and the future of Cape Town. Moxyland crackles with bold and infectious ideas, connecting a ruthless corporate-apartheid government with video games, biotech attack dogs, slippery online identities, a township soccer school, shocking cellphones, addictive branding, and genetically modified art. A frighteningly persuasive high-tech fable. This ebook edition includes an embedded soundtrack from African Dope Records.

This is probably one of the best books I've read this year. I love the way that this ebook was designed. It's really easy to read. And the embedded soundtrack is awesome!
