She plays with her four friends – Anja, Sahara, Fang, and Jaya, and they have their own group called the Cherry Dogs.

Marisa loves playing the virtual reality action game called Overworld. 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.ĭan Wells, author of the New York Times bestselling Partials Sequence, returns with a stunning new vision of the near future-a breathless cyber-thriller where privacy is the world’s most rare resource and nothing, not even the thoughts in our heads, is safe.īluescreen is a gripping science fiction thriller that gives us an interesting look into what our future might end up looking like, particularly if we keep making technological advances at such an accelerated rate. And it’s Anja who first gets her hands on Bluescreen-a virtual drug that plugs right into a person’s djinni and delivers a massive, non-chemical, completely safe high. She might spend her days in Mirador, the small, vibrant LA neighborhood where her family owns a restaurant, but she lives on the net-going to school, playing games, hanging out, or doing things of more questionable legality with her friends Sahara and Anja. In a world where virtually everyone is online twenty-four hours a day, this connection is like oxygen-and a world like that presents plenty of opportunities for someone who knows how to manipulate it.

One of those connections is a djinni-a smart device implanted right in a person’s head. Los Angeles in 2050 is a city of open doors, as long as you have the right connections.
