The second installment of Michael Stutz's three-volume novel CIRCUITS OF THE WIND is at heart a campus novel, a nostalgic look at Generation X college life in the early 1990s. That's when the net arrives all glimmering: it's brighter, quicker, better than Ray Valentine had ever known. The adults in his world don't even know the Internet exists, while meanwhile he's spending all his time on it, reaching out all over the world. He soon becomes a leader in this new global generation, one of the ones who saw the net as a gilded portal to a fabulous new age everyone was about to enter. But in real life he's coasting aimlessly—and when his college friends move on and fashions change he sees how things might not be working out for him at all.
