In this wry, paranoid vision of the future, overpopulation has turned cities into crammed industrial anthills. For those sick of this dystopian reality, one corporation promises an alternative. Trials of Hoffmann, Inc., will teleport you to Whale's Mouth, a colonized planet billed as the supreme paradise, where you can take up as much space as you want. The only catch is that you can never come back. When Rachmael ben Applebaum discovers that the promotional films of happy crowds cheering their newfound existence on Whale's Mouth are faked, he decides to embark on the eighteen-year journey there to see if anyone wants to return... but what he discovers may be more dangerous than even he had imagined.
