THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF NEUROMANCER AND AGENCY PRESENTS A FAST-PACED SCI-FI THRILLER THAT TAKES A TERRIFYING LOOK INTO THE FUTURE.
Flynne Fisher lives down a country road, in a rural near-future America where jobs are scarce, unless you count illegal drug manufacturing, which she's trying to avoid. Her brother, Burton, lives-or tries to-on money from the Veterans Administration, for neurological damage suffered in the Marines' elite Haptic Recon unit. Flynne earns what she can by assembling products at the local 3-D printshop. She made more as a combat scout in an online game, playing for a rich man, but she has had to let shooter games go.
Seventy-some years later, Wilf Netherton lives in London, on the far side of decades of slow-motion apocalypse. Things are pretty good now, for the haves, and there aren't many have-nots left. Wilf, a high-powered publicist and celebrity-minder, fancies himself a romantic misfit, in a society where reaching into the past is just another hobby.
Burton's been moonlighting online, secretly working security in some game pro-totype, a virtual world that looks vaguely like London, but a lot weirder. He's got Flynne taking shifts, promising her the game's not a shooter. Still, the crime she witnesses there is plenty bad.
Flynne and Wilf are about to meet. Her world will be altered utterly, irrevocably.
