Jason Taverner is a Six, the result of top secret government experiments forty years prior, which produced a handful of unnaturally bright and beautiful people. He's the prime-time idol of millions until, inexplicably, all record of him is wiped from the data banks of Earth.

Suddenly, he's a nobody in a police state where nobody is allowed to be a nobody. Will he ever be rich and famous again? Was he, in fact, ever rich and famous?

Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said explores the unsettling reality of identity loss and the struggle to assert oneself in a world that no longer recognises you.
