Fantasy Urban
Fred Brounian and his twin brother, George, were once
co-CEOs of a burgeoning New York City software company
devoted to the creation of utopian virtual worlds. Now, in
the summer of 2006, as two wars rage and the fifth
anniversary of 9/11 approaches, George has fallen into a
coma, control of the company has been wrenched away by a
military contracting conglomerate, and Fred has moved back
in with his parents. Broke and alone, he’s led by an
attractive woman, Mira, into a neurological study promising
to give him “peak” experiences and a newfound spiritual
outlook on life. As the study progresses, lines between the
subject and the experimenter blur, and reality becomes
increasingly porous. Meanwhile, Fred finds himself caught up
in what seems at first a cruel prank: a series of bizarre
emails and texts that purport to be from his comatose brother.
