<p> Smart, exciting, and timely, A.D.D. is one part prophecy, one part critique, and one part action story, a heady mix. --Cory Doctorow<p> ADD's laser-guided smart missile zeroes in on the black undercurrents of gaming culture, celebrity and the pharmaceutical industry to target the secret wars being waged behind our monitor screens. In a world defined by ubiquitous media, best-selling wargames, autistic disorders and the commodification and exploitation of youth, Doug Rushkoff and artist Goran Sudzuka vivisect the zeitgeist with a sleek tale of tomorrow's children, that's part social sci-fi and part X-Men for the PlayStation generation. --Grant Morrison
