A few months ago I stumbled across a hardcover science-fiction book in
my school's bookstore. I read blurb on the back and the jacket notes,
etc, and decided the it might be interesting. However, I couldn't
afford the book at the time. Now I'm interested in purchasing the
book, but I can't for the life of me find any information about it.
I had *believed* the title of the book to be "Jane Government",
but searching on Amazon.com, Powells.com and Google revealed nothing
for that title.
Here is what I recall for sure about the book:
First, the cover design of the book is striking, and is what got my
attention in the first place. It is white, with a view of just a part
of woman's face, very pale. One eye is visible, with long lashes, and
on her cheek, immediately below her eye, is a bar code. To the side is
the title of the book.
What I recall about the synopsis of the book is this: It is set in a
future in which the name of a person's employment has replaced the
idea of a surname - in other words, you might have Adam Carpenter,
Lucy Automotive, or Jane Government. The plot is tied to a man who has
been wrongfully perceived of committing some crime, and he is being
chased by Jane Government (or Judy Government, some female name like
that).
If I recall, the book was described as being fairly light and
humorous, though not actually a work of comedy.
When I first encountered the book, which I think was some time in
october, it was a fairly new release.
I'm hoping that, based off of that information, you could retrieve the
title of the book. Knowing the author would also be very nice.
This is my first submission of a question to Google Answers... I hope
that the sort of information I've been able to provide helps you find
an answer.Thank you, this is exactly the answer I was looking for. Simple, but
with all the information I requested.Thank you for the tip.
