520 The America of 2037 is a country distracted by, infatuated
with, and addicted to Arcadia. The brainchild of reclusive
genius Juan Diego Reyes, Arcadia is a wickedly immersive,
all-encompassing social-media platform and virtual-reality
interface. Although Arcadia has made the Reyes family
fabulously wealthy, it's left them - and the rest of the
country - impoverished of that rare currency : intimacy.
When Juan Diego mysteriously vanishes, the consequences
shatter the lives of the entire Reyes clan. As matriach
Autumn struggles to hold the family together, siblings
Gideon, Holly, and Devon wrestle with questions of purpose
and meaning - seeking self-worth in a world where
everything has been cheapened. Outside the artificial
safety of Arcadia, America has crumbled into an
unrecognizable nation where a fundamentalist ex-preacher
occupies the Oval Office, megacorporations blithely
exploit their full citizenship, and a twenty-foot-high
Great Wall of Freedom plastered with lucrative advertising
bestrides the US-Mexico border. In a polarized society now
cripplingly hooked on manufactured highs, the Reyes family
must overcome the seduction of simulation to find the kind
of authentic human connection that offers salvation for
all. -- back cover.
