In 2068, Doug Michaels finds his friend, Josh Unger, dead in his home. When law enforcement concludes his death was a suicide, Doug is dumbstruck – what could explain such a violent death in a future where such actions are unimaginable. Trying to unearth a killer, Doug creates a mental landscape of Josh’s past, a retroscape, starting in the mid-2030s. Among its landmarks are: An illness, sensationalized in the media as the “zombie pandemic”. A mysterious phrase uttered at the attack on a government official. Josh’s machine-intelligence wife, Julia, who may hold the secret … if she can only remember. In the end, determining guilt in a retroscape littered with suspects tells Doug more about humanity, technology, and himself than he ever could have imagined.
