Description: "Set in the very near future, Tokyo Doesn't Love Us Anymore is the story of a traveling salesman floating from arid Arizona parking lots to steamy Bangkok bars to peddle the hottest new commodity for a group known only as the Company. What he has is a drug that erases memory. You can choose your oblivion, be it one mistake or a lifetime of pain, but things become hazy when our hero begins sampling the goods. A story for our times, Loriga is tackles nothing less than the question of what it means to be human when everything, including human identity, can be bought."--BOOK JACKET.
