“Bluescreen is a stunning deluge of
imagination, filled with suspense and twists and unforgettable
characters. This book is just plain awesome.”—James Dashner, bestselling
author of The Maze Runner
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 djinni—a smart
device implanted right in a person’s head. 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.
Marisa Carneseca is one of
those people. She might spend her days in Mirador, 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. 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, 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.
