Everyone in America was connected to a narrow electronic band, a quarter-inch wide strip of wire that pierced the ceilings of houses and apartments from coast to coast. Americans would plug the band into their phones once a day to confirm their financial status.
Rock could tell he knew this but had apparently forgotten the details. The band at first notice ran into his back bedroom. Awake at last, he had no idea where it was. How could he have forgotten something so clearly fundamental to contemporary human existence?
