Find the illegal concerts and bring musicians into the limelight they deserve. But when she sees how the world could actually be, that won't be enough. The only catch is that she'll have to do something she's never done before and go out in public. By lucky chance, she finds a new job and a new calling: discover amazing musicians and bring their concerts to everyone via virtual reality. She spends her days in Hoodspace, helping customers order all of their goods online for drone delivery-no physical contact with humans needed. Rosemary Laws barely remembers the Before times. She does what she has to do: she performs in illegal concerts to a small but passionate community, always evading the law. Now, in the After, terror attacks and deadly viruses have led the government to ban concerts, and Luce's connection to the world-her music, her purpose-is closed off forever. One of her songs had just taken off and she was on her way to becoming a star. In the Before, when the government didn't prohibit large public gatherings, Luce Cannon was on top of the world.
In this captivating science fiction novel from an award-winning author, public gatherings are illegal making concerts impossible, except for those willing to break the law for the love of music, and for one chance at human connection.
