But now a mysterious realtor sets in motion a cryptic plot laced with the nefarious Circuit and wealthy investors who pit Jackson against his better judgment. This novelette also contains two bonus short stories. In the special feature "Five Paintings," two art critics battle over the value of a rich collector's paintings. In "Five Sketches of an Everyday Infinity" the journalist Leopold reveals the secrets of experiencing a sense of the infinite to his new companion, the artificial intelligence named Synthoid Etteri.
