Vampires dance with Goths around campfires far from the rainy Metroplex- as the Central Computer says in Cell U.R.

Cell-UR describes the near-future Twenty-first century's human conditions in humorous metaphor, through the eyes of a 'normal' industrialized, connected, urban "metrosexual" adolescent coming-of-age as part of something bigger than himself, to learn that true evil …
