The world of The Cloven a place where facts are malleable where genetic experiments live in the margins beneath the freeway. Where secret societies make all the real decisions about the fate of our world, where billionaires filled with hubris insist on tweaking the universe for our own good, where fear and anxiety seep from peoples pores so that wed rather believe the scripted television news than something weve actually seen and yet where searching for ones place in the world - searching for ones home - is still the most powerful yearning of a persons soul.
