Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town
Plot summary, courtesy of Publishers Weekly
"It's only natural that Alan, the broadminded hero of Doctorow's fresh,
unconventional SF novel, is willing to help everybody he meets. After all,
he's the product of a mixed marriage (his father is a mountain and his
mother is a washing machine), so he knows how much being an outcast can
hurt. Alan tries desperately to behave like a human being—or at least
like his idealized version of one. He joins a cyber-anarchist's plot to
spread a free wireless Internet through Toronto at the same time he agrees
to protect his youngest brothers (members of a set of Russian nesting
dolls) from their dead brother who's now resurrected and bent on revenge."
