2031 - the atmosphere's wrecked. The Storm Troupers - media unit, scientists, techno-freaks - get their kicks from weather. Hooked up to drones through virtual reality rigs, they can plunge like maddened darts into the eye of a storm, and surf a ride from hell.
Their Holy Grail: the F6, a tornado so intense it's off the scale. Dangerous in the extreme. Also dangerous: certain people's sick dreams, full of tornado trails, shining insane paths of endless howling destruction...
The high tech wonders of a decaying world ... and a bunch of wild nomads longing to be blown away: multi-media guru Bruce Sterling's superb Heavy Weather is not to be missed.
