Publisher's Synopsis

On this bright new world there are those who want to keep science prime mover of society and those who simply want the land they were promised and to live full lives building a new civilisation of their own construction. One of the elements which has allowed the colonization of such a far flung planet (many light years from earth) is induced dreaming - a state which counteracted the adverse effects of leaving so many consciousnesses in deep sleep during the journey time and also expands mind power once human is reawoken. Kalypso Deed works in the vital dream induction centre that is empowering the brains that will one day govern - one night a routine program goes haywire and the biologist undergoing dream induction runs riot. This is the start of the breakdown of the supercomputer that has been running things since Man's first arrival. Things go from bad to worse and it looks like everyone will have to leave their artificial environment and take their chances outside on the planet's surface... And Kalypso is being held responsible.
