NeuTraffic

John Graham, Thought Commuter License 178, has a simple mission: deliver a message. In a near-future, post-revolution Seattle, he and the other underground messengers are the only tenuous threads that keep the fledgling New Cascadian Order from falling back into chaos. Careful, paranoid planning and incredible luck can only take the young Nation-State so far — and now even the Thought Commuter network’s secret intelligence can’t save them from a devastating air raid. His route home destroyed, John is forced on an odyssey through the bizarre new environment of his changed city. Seattle is boiling under the threat of renewed chaos, and the new society’s structures are threatening to dissolve…but that’s the least of John’s problems. Because as John journeys through the mental landscape of his past, he’s beginning to suspect that society isn’t the only thing unravelling. His own sanity might be coming spectacularly undone.

Andrew Gaines is convinced that Spare Time is a mythical beast that he is destined to chase for eternity, as the coveted creature is always disappearing over the horizon of his ambitions. He does many things, his favorite of which is living in West Seattle with his wife, Sarah. NeuTraffic is his first novel.
