Kate Telman is a senior executive officer in The Business, a powerful and massively discreet transglobal organisation whose origins predate the Christian Church. Financially transparent, internally
democratic, it wants to buy its own State to gain a seat at the United Nations.
Kate's job is to keep abreast of current technological developments and her global reach stretches from Silicon Valley to the remote Himalayas. In the course of her journey Kate must peel away layers of
emotional insulation and the assumptions of a lifetime. She must learn to control the world at arm's length.
To take control, she has to do The Business.
