Cecily Darden, called "Alice" by her shrink, is drawn into the dangerous world of a husband, Thomas Limone, who suddenly disappeared a decade earlier.

It's an invasion that the characters, caught in personal turmoil, yearning, resentment, humiliation and drink don't attend. And as Synthetic Life of the algorithm floods the consciousness of the country, it's full analog here, such minds going extinct like the purple warbler.
