Bogus to Bubbly

An Insider’s Guide to the World of the Uglies

THE WORLD OF UGLIES, SET IN OUR NOT-SO-DISTANT FUTURE, is a complex place filled with bubbly technology and lingo, yet bogus rules about status and appearance. That’s why a guide to the world of Uglies has been requisitioned from the hole in the wall. Inside you’ll find:

• A rundown on all the cliques, from Crims and Cutters to tech-heads and surge-monkeys
• The complete history, starting with the destruction of the oil bug to the launch of Extras in space
• How all those awesome gadgets came to be: hoverboards, eyescreens, skintennas, sneak suits…
• PLUS an exclusive look at Scott Westerfeld’s first draft of Extras — starring Hiro, not Aya…
• …and so much more, it’s mind-wrecking.
