Summary
(From the publisher):
An anthology of cult fiction set in the final hours of 1999. The party starts here ... with a cast of crazy scientists, nomadic DJs, fetish queens, conspiracy theorists, killer ants, graffiti artists, gangsters, convicts, cult leaders, Netheads, replicants, religious maniacs and ballroom dancers.
It's the last night of the millennium and anything could happen. Every imaginable relgious cult and faction is decending on the holy city in Jerusalem, while in London people are mysteriously disappearing. The leader of a cult is drawing together his tribe, while in Manila a man is eating a bowl of breakfast cereal. Around the globe, TV broadcasts the end-of-the-world predictions of crackpot professors and in every city the parties are out of control.
