Archipelago Summary
| Archipelago is a set of short stories by Saif Rahman, defined geographically by London's M25. The Archipelago Company's plan is simple. Integrate the dormitory towns orbiting London into a single network. Declare economic independence. No congestion charges, uncontrolled building booms and high prices matched by declining employment. Just help yourself to the raftloads of money-making schemes that float out toward the M25. Nothing wrong with the idea - just the differing interests of its founders pulling in all directions. There's a bank that's come down in the world. A university that wants to be a business. And an IT company that wants to run the country. Not to mention the bottom feeders: a language school with delusions of grandeur, a mysterious firm of Swiss lawyers and many more. Saif Rahman trained as a banker and linguist, but is a historian by inclination. Saif's experience of working in the City of London provides the backdrop for Tales from the Long Bar. Now Archipelago turns the spotlight on London's unsung lifeline, the M25 orbital motorway. |
