Milena isn’t sure if she’s mad or if she’s the only sane person left in the world she only knows that she wants to escape to her own private Fairyland and live forever. When he helps a super-smart girl turn a genetically-engineered doll into a new species, he doesnt realize hes giving history a dangerous shove.

At the cost of three hours of his life, he finds an unlikely ally in a scary, super-smart little girl called Milena, but his troubles really start when he helps Milena quicken intelligence in a Doll, turning it into the first of the fairies. In London, Alex Sharkey is trying to make his mark as a designer of psychoactive viruses, whilst staying one step ahead of the police and the Triad gangs. This is best illustrated by the inhuman fairies' capture of the artificial 'magic kingdom' of Eurodisney, turning it into something to be feared and avoided as the source of evil.


Europe is divided between the First World bourgeoisie, made rich by nanotechnology and the cheap versatile slave labour of genetically engineered Dolls and the Fourth World of refugees and homeless displaced by war and economic upheaval. Fairyland is a triumphant culmination of this theme- a high-tech future where the past is an ever-present nightmare.
