"This [is] top-drawer hard SF - fast-paced, packed with action, intellectually challenging and, above all, capable of invoking SF's grail: a genuine sense of wonder." (Publishers Weekly)

Well plotted and thoughtful SF
Robert Gu, a poet laureate with Alzheimer's, has his youth and mind restored by medical science. Unfortunately he has a 90's mind in a 2020 world and no longer can write poetry. He goes back to Fairmont High School to learn how to navigate the heavily networked world and "wear" the new technology. The awkwardness of the arrogant Gu is wonderful and the future tech and world is great. The plot develops into a mystery conspiracy adventure with Gu's 13 yo granddaughter and assorted oldies (each adapting their past lives to the new world).
