Reporter Maya Andreyeva is a "camera," broadcasting her perceptions to millions from her virtual-reality cranial implants. Maya's discovery of a covert state-approved massacre raises dangerous issues involving conspiracy, tyranny, and mind control. Author Raphael Carter's ingenious tale takes a compelling look at the role of media in shaping historical narrative. "Vibrant, sweet, and tragic ... Carter attempts impossible things and succeeds brilliantly." Jonathan Lethem."
Raphael Carter's first novel, The Fortunate Fall, appeared on the Locus recommended reading list, ranking fourth among first novels, after two tied winners. The book also effected Carter's nomination for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 1997 and 1998.

Octavo, boards. First edition. "THE FORTUNATE FALL (1996), which - though its basic premise derives from D. G. Compton's THE CONTINUOUS KATHERINE MORTENHOE (1974; rev vt THE UNSLEEPING EYE 1974; vt DEATH WATCH 1981) - intensely presents a cyberpunk world two centuries hence; the female protagonist, a news reporter with a computer-driven camera wired into her sensorium, finds herself deeply involved in an ancient conspiracy involving zombie Russian soldiers and mean streets. The world she inhabits is described with color and verve." - John Clute and David R. Langford, SFE (online). "Carter's brio and inventive spin on all the cyber tropes apparently exhausted in the 1980s and early 1990s is fun, speedy, if never quite as wrenchingly moving as the writer clearly wishes it to be . But the artificial life speculations are exactly right in their quicksilver detail: species and genera and entire phyla of viruses and grander alife creatures that prey on each other in grayspace, the realm of virtual reality." - Broderick and Di Filippo, Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985-2010 #45. The author's first novel. A John W. Campbell Award nominee for best new writer. Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1986-2009. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#145258).
