What would you do if you were rich, bright, vigorous, virtually immortal—and nearly bored to death? You’d invent a thrill sport… It’s the 23rd century and Nasir Deepra is 248 years old, wealthy, kept young by all-pervasive nanotechnology, a corporate executive and bored with life. To spice things up he has become an Agonist, dipping into war zones--many of them in satellites orbiting the Earth--and filming his daredevil antics.

Played out on the beaches and breaking waves of the world’s continental fringes, surfing is the epitome of a classic cult of freedom and individual expression-an arena not only for survival but for grace under pressure, style, and artistic invention. Yet surfing is more than just riding the waves-it’s a lifestyle, a state of mind, a subculture with its own codes and heroes. In Stoked:
