Most of us have all been there.

In this story, we visit something that many of have experienced. What is the world outside of our homes like at 3am? You know it's different....but just how different? If you never explored your neighborhood late at night then this will help you. If you have, well then this book is preaching to the quior. May the gods of darkness hide your true identity.

A protest against Suburban apathy

"The Night People" is a story of 4 people that a bored with the mundaneness of their lives. They have tried rock climbing, gone sailing and other "extreme" activities but they soon grow weary of them. They discover the eerie emptiness of the suburbs late at night. Together they find themselves going for 3 am walks on weeknights through deserted streets and plazas. The plot thickens from here on in as they get themselves into trouble. This book is great, I live in a similar sounding town and I can relate to the mundanity of the town, and the description of the "pod" type people who inhabit it.
