"Sci-fi fans will want to read this story of #SocialMediaDystopianism before it becomes a reality." - Kirkus ReviewsĤ.5 "on the pulse, hyperkinetic, fiercely vivid" stars !!Ī few months ago Mr. "Minh creates a nonstop social media frenzy amid a rich cyberpunk landscape in this vivid debut." – Publishers Weekly Sacha Villanova, a tech and culture reporter, is on assignment to profile A’rore―but as she digs into Eutopia’s inner workings, she unearths a tangle of corporate corruption that threatens to sacrifice Cedric, A’rore, and even the city itself on the altar of stockholder greed. She’s panicking as her popularity wanes, and she'll do anything do avoid obscurity. The star of the show: A’rore, the city’s icon and lead social media influencer. What he finds instead is a new career directing―not movies, but experiences. Cedric Travers, a has-been Hollywood director, comes to Eutopia looking for clues into his estranged wife’s disappearance. This multiple-POV novel follows three characters as they navigate the city’s underworld. As crime rises, no one stands to gain more than Eutopia’s architects―and, of course, the shareholders who make the place possible. But in Eutopia, the bloodier and more daring posts pay off the most. Rising out of the American desert, it’s a real-world manifestation of a social media network where fame-hungry desperados compete for likes and followers. Bold, colorful, and dangerously seductive, Eutopia is a new breed of hi-tech city.
