Plot Summary
The story is set on what used to be called Planet Earth (now called Planet
Mall) in the distant future. Everywhere on the planet the kids watch the same movies, wear the same fashions and think the
same thoughts. All music is computer generated since the outlawing of musical instruments, and everyone downloads the same
songs. However, resistance is growing, and an underground group of rebels known as the "Bohemians" plan to restore musical
order by finding the lost axe that once belonged to a great and hairy guitar god; but to do this they need the one who is
destined to lead them. Could the boy who calls himself Galileo be that person?
