All Tomorrow's Parties

Rydell is on his way back to near-future San Francisco. A stint as a security man in an all-night Los Angeles convenience store has convinced him his career is going nowhere, but his friend Laney, phoning from Tokyo, says there's more interesting work for him in Northern California.

Rydell se intoarce in San Francisco, un oras din viitorul apropiat. O perioada petrecuta ca agent de paza intr-un magazin din Los Angeles, deschis toata noaptea, l-a convins ca nu are niciun scop in cariera, dar prietenul sau, Laney, sunandu-l din Tokyo, spune ca are de lucru mai interesant in nordul Californiei.
