Believing that the last book his grandfather ever read, the one he was buried with, was Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Gildner reflects on his relationship to literature and writing and how that is related to his roots as a Slovakian. Much of his reflection takes place in the context of travels through Eastern Europe and the United States, as well as his relationship with family members past and present.

Biotech corporations and criminal enterprises hold the keys to survival, but ubiquitous surveillance threatens to reveal Ajay’s every move.
