The action of the book is set a couple hundred years in the future, in a post-apocalyptic world created by "the Great Scream", which was some sort of telepathic explosion.

A very odd book, not least of which is contained in the cover, which depicts a balding middle aged dude apparently floating upon the upper forehead of a sleeping woman's head, which also happens to be carved from rock.
