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.
