From Dan Wells, author of the New York Times bestselling Partials Sequence, comes the first book in a new sci-fi- noir series. Los Angeles in 2050 is a city of open doors, as long as you have the right connections. That connection is a djinniโa smart device implanted right in a personโs head. In a world where virtually everyone is online twenty-four hours a day, this connection is like oxygenโand a world like that presents plenty of opportunities for someone who knows how to manipulate it.
Marisa Carneseca is one of those people. She might spend her days in Mirador, but she lives on the netโgoing to school, playing games, hanging out, or doing things of more questionable legality with her friends Sahara and Anja. And itโs Anja who first gets her hands on Bluescreenโa virtual drug that plugs right into a personโs djinni and delivers a massive, nonchemical, completely safe high. But in this city, when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, and Mari and her friends soon find themselves in the middle of a conspiracy that is much bigger than they ever suspected.
