Aaron Smith-Teller works in a kabbalistic sweatshop near San Francisco, where he and hundreds of other minimum-wage workers try to brute-force the Holy Names of God. All around him, the forces of Good and Evil move their pieces into play for the final confrontation. An autistic archangel and his eight-year-old apprentice try to debug the laws of physics. A dark lord in Las Vegas claims to be the reincarnation of a heretical Talmudic rabbi. A magicless Mexican hedge wizard masters the terrifying art of placebomancy. A band of Silicon Valley billionaires charter the world's fastest ship to find God and tell Him exactly what He is doing wrong. The Messiah-King of the American West organizes a military coalition against the Devil. Aaron doesn't care about any of this. He and his friends are engaged in something far more important - griping about magical intellectual property law. But when a chance discovery brings them to the attention of the mysterious United Nations Subcommittee On Names of God (UNSONG), they find themselves caught in a web of plots, crusades, and prophecies leading inexorably to the end of the world.
