The caryatids
Synopsis
In the year 2060, the world is fractured into three competing powers: the high-tech, entertainment-driven Dispensation; the neurologically networked Acquis; and the ruthless, surviving nation-state of China. Amidst this fractured world are the Caryatids, four female clones of a notorious Balkan war criminal, now living in orbit. One of them, Radmila, a Dispensation star, is determined to escape her past and build an unassailable future.
