Synopsis: From the back cover of the DAW first printing: They needed the first girl born in the first minute of the first day of the first year of the Twenty-first Century. They needed her for an ad campaign that would put millions into the largest cosmetics company in Sweden, and from there into the accounts of the giant conglomerate that owned it, and from there into the publicized holding company that controlled that, and hence into the secret Swiss bank account that directed the holding company, and from there to - nobody knew, not even the Swiss bankers. But though the life of everyone in the world was supposed to be on taped computerized credit records down to the smallest detail, hers was not. They knew her name, and that was all.
