Everywhere Man

“It was a year ago today we discovered the Everywhere Man…”



So begins the search for a mysterious man obscured and faceless but omnipresent in millions of tourist photos taken along San Francisco’s historic cable car routes. Never identified, his anonymity quietly frustrates the fabric of the city’s digital history until the explosive moment arrives when he can no longer be ignored.


 invites the reader aboard a cable car and into a mystery as old as San Francisco itself. Only after the underground machinery and cables are laid bare is the identity of the Everywhere Man revealed—along with the fate of those who seek him.
