Josef Löwe claims total recall, right back to the moment he came alive on a kitchen table in a basement on Ingólfsstræti in Reykjavík. He was born in 1962, a record year for nuclear tests, a fact with serious consequences for Iceland's children of that year and maybe for humanity. This last volume of Sjón's trilogy adds a menacing vision of the future to the two earlier novels, and appeared with them as the complete CoDex 1962.
