Was Yoko Ono “planted by a Japanese corporation to break up the Beatles”? Wasn’t an American one –– with the country’s hardware industry rapidly sinking, and the hopes for its cultural export rising –– more likely to profit? The year is 1999. Rock widow Y. surfs the web looking for shadows of her dead husband. Through encounters with Andrea, a young journalist with wild ideas about art and technology, and with Daniel Mohn, the visionary founder and CEO of Monosoft, she begins to find her way through post-Cold War wasteland, where maps are redrawn with milk, glass and sugar.
