From the back cover: The Metropole Luxury Coffin is home to over 300 people. Unlike most of them, you're going to get out someday. Just keep telling yourself that. Welcome to the uncomfortably close future and the capsule hotel named the Metropole Luxury Coffin. For most people it’s the last stop before debtor’s prison. It’s a refuge from the sidewalk tolls that rack up charges every minute you spend outside. As much as you hate to admit it, it’s home. It’ll take a good scam, good friends and some slick tech to get what you need to move up in the world. Better get to work, ‘cause your cellphone company charges 250 minutes per night you spend here.
