This is not typical de Lint in that it isn't about a waifish girl artist. It is futuristic and, truth-be-told, when I saw the film "Johnny Mnemonic", I thought that show was based on this book. Fabulously entertaining and a fast ride from start to finish.
Take one "Claver" who is a descendant of the American Indians who withdrew from the overpolluted 21st century. Add one "rat" who is a girl living on her wits in the slums. Toss in one unique piece of technology that the Yakuza from the "Props" are after. Now you have one wicked book. But don't stop there. Let's add in a coyote who might be a Trickster God and then again might be just a coyote.
De Lint does urban fantasy like no one else. This is the only futuristic one of his that I know of (but that isn't saying much). He casts believable characters in a frighteningly real "what if" future. I have read this book time and time again.
