520    "New York Times bestselling author Steven Kotler's follow 
       up to Last Tango, a near-future thriller about the 
       evolution of empathy in the tradition of William Gibson 
       and Neal Stephenson. Hard to say when the human species 
       fractured exactly. Harder to say when this new talent 
       arrived. But Lion Zorn, protagonist of Last Tango, is the 
       first of his kind-an empathy tracker, an emotional 
       soothsayer, with a felt sense for the future of the we. In
       simpler terms, he can spot cultural shifts and trends 
       before they happen. The Devil's Dictionary finds Lion Zorn
       enmeshed with a strange subculture: polyamorous crypto-
       currency fiends with a tendency toward eco-terrorism. 
       These crypto-eco-punks have executed the largest land grab
       in U.S. history, buying up huge swatches of the American 
       west to establish the world's first mega-linkage. This 
       unbroken tract of wild lands stretching from Yellowstone 
       to Yukon is meant to protect biodiversity and stave off 
       the Sixth Great Extinction, but something's rotten in 
       Eden. Instead of saving existing species, exotic creatures
       unlike anything seen on Earth keep turning up. Called in 
       to track down the origin of these exotics, Lion quickly 
       finds himself entangled in a battle for the survival of 
       our species"--|cProvided by publisher.
