Sinossi
Within the exaggerated isolation of his home life, the young Jimmy Bucklesmith is suddenly aware of the compromises that his parents have made in order to fit comfortably into the life around them. He becomes restless and, after an incident at school, in which the focus of the playground is kind to him, he is invited to do a day's work by one of the more influential students in the school. The following morning, he nervously leaves his apartment and is immediately immersed in the complex human environment which spills out onto the congested streets. In a futuristic, post-industrial age, the technology is both physically available and morally acceptable to change body form, and some individuals, like his parents, take extreme measures to adapt their bodies to cope with the rigors of social expectations or the demands of their own self-perception.
If Jimmy has to overcome his own inherent difficulties, demonstrated by the poor condition of his legs he, like anyone else who has their own specific way of coping, has to contend with the dark side of life which is forever waiting in the wings to predate upon the unwary and the insecure, and success in personal survival always depends upon the strength of the spirit within.

Informazioni sull'autore
Colin Reed has contributed to the histories of his home town of Blackpool and of many of the personalities now remembered in the town's first municipal cemetery at Layton. He was born in Bispham, Blackpool where the grave of Alice Wrigley is situated in the parish church and which prompted the story of the burning ship on which, along with the tragic story of many others, she met her death.
