The Drop

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A shattered planet. A superstar DJ. Her biggest fan. And one monumental secret. Since a mysterious weather event in 2025 made the outside world off limits, veteran DJ Juanita has become the headline 'Virtuoso' for Love Buzz, a non-stop virtual music festival beamed directly into survivors' headsets. For Juanita, trapped inside her Sydney apartment and addled by isolation and addiction, the show must go on - and on and on. Three years after The Storm sets in, the leader of this new world, multimedia mogul Matthias 'Tito' van Dijk, arrives in Sydney to overhaul the event that unites a fragile world. With her teenage fan, aspiring Virtuoso Kai, and his twin, Toca, shadowing her every move, the world's most bankable star is drawn into a mysterious underground resistance movement: where drones hunt down dissidents, DJs become heroes, and Juanita learns that everything she believes is a lie. The Drop is a fast-paced, searing takedown of technology addiction, the corporate takeover of popular culture and mankind's steadfast determination to destroy our planet. SOUNDS LIKE: Ready Player One and The Matrix going clubbing in the Black Mirror universe.
