The world of uglies, set in our not-so-distant future, is a complex place filled with bubbly technology and lingo, yet bogus rules about status and appearance. That's why a guide to the world of uglies has been requisitioned from the hole in the wall. Inside you'll find: a rundown on all the cliques, from Crims and Cutters to tech-heads and surge-monkeys; the complete history, starting with the destruction of the oil bug to the launch of Extras in space; how all those awesome gadgets came to be - hoverboards, eyescreens, skintennas, sneak suits...
