The Nether

Jennifer Haley's "The Nether" takes place in a virtual wonderland that provides total sensory immersion. One only needs to log in, choose an identity, and indulge in every desire. But when a young detective uncovers a disturbing brand of entertainment, she triggers an interrogation into the darkest corners of the imagination. Winner of the 2012 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, Los Angeles Ovation Award 2012, and the ATCA Francesca Primus Prize in 2014,"The Nether" is both a serpentine crime drama and a haunting sci-fi thriller that explores the consequences of living out our private dreams. For mature audiences only.
