The book asks as many questions as it answers, and readers will leave the story with no doubt that we are in a new phase of existence as a species - and that there is no turning back. Ballard, Coupland explores the modern crises of time, human identity, society, religion, and the afterlife. Slowly, each reveals the truth about themselves while the world as they know it comes to an end. Five disparate people are trapped inside: Karen, a single mother waiting for her online date Rick, the down-on-his-luck airport lounge bartender Luke, a pastor on the run Rachel, a cool Hitchcock blonde incapable of true human contact and finally a mysterious voice known as Player One. Blurb: International bestselling author Douglas Coupland delivers a real-time, five-hour story set in an airport cocktail lounge during a global disaster.
