Нанотехнологии радикально преобразовали законы жизни и смерти. Воскрешенные мертвецы теперь составляют практически одну треть населения Земли, они лишены прав, юридически не считаются людьми и стали главной рабочей силой нового общества. У них сложилась своя культура, образовались свои собственные гетто, некровили. А Ночь мертвых принадлежит только им. Пять человек входят в некровиль, чтобы исполнить данное друг другу обещание или же обрести смысл жизни. И чем сильнее пересекаются их судьбы, тем глубже они погружаются в жизни мертвецов, тем более невероятные сцены предстают перед ними. Они еще не подозревают, что эта ночь перевернет судьбу…

n the Los Angeles ghetto of Necroville, the yearly celebration of the Night of the Dead - where the dead are resurrected through the miracle of nanotechnology and live their second lives as noncitizens - becomes a journey of discovery and revelation for five individuals on the run from their pasts.

Decades after a technological discovery enables the dead to come back to life, the realms of the living and the undead are separated by strict boundaries, and a restless artist decides to explore an ultimate challenge. Reprint.

Ian McDonald's stimulating ideas and rich prose have won him a devoted readership on both sides of the Atlantic. Now comes his most provocative novel yet. Los Angeles is much like any other city; the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting more numerous, and the dead are working hard to pay off their resurrection debts, the cost of their immortality. Science has finally conquered the last barrier to immortality, death itself, with the microscopic machines of nano-technology. Like any other city, Los Angeles has its Necroville or "City of the Dead," the segregated, walled ghetto where the dead sleep, eat and live, off-limits to living…

It is a few decades after a revolutionary technology has given humans the ability to resurrect the dead. The ever-increasing population of the risen dead is segregated into areas called necrovilles. Here they have created a wild culture, untouched by the restrictions of the law - except that the dead cannot stray into the realm of the living, nor the living into the teeming necrovilles, after nightfall. It is November 1, the Day of the Dead. Virtual artist Santiago Columbar, creator of drugs and 'ware that melt and reconfigure reality for his many disciples, has grown bored with the realities at his command. There is one reality he has yet…
