An event known as the Reformat changes the face of Earth. What is left of the Oldest Internet ossifies into glassy shells left along every beach. The cloned remains of humanity live in nomad social networks called Google clans. One clone, Aedl, proceeds to investigate a series of Artifacts made of pure information lying along the Texas coastline. It is three months before the event called the Reformat. A virtual farmer named Cikly asks his friend Dale to steal a copy of a book called _The House of Leaves_. Dale reluctantly searches for the book, and instead obsessively blogs about his belief that he exists in a waking coma. Soon, under the pretense of their combined obsession, Dale and Cikly begin a road-trip in search of the enigmatic book. By journey's end what they find redefines themselves and their place in reality.
