Description

In nearfuture Silicon Valley a young unemployed software engineer joins a tech giants secretive community seeking shelter from the chaos of a failing world But this ideal society is not in fact so perfect

Silicon Valley in the 2030s is not so different from today filled with vaguely sexist CEOs contested inequality politics and startups that are almost a joke After she loses her job when her startup folds and loses her home to Californias annual wildfires Sara joins the latest thing an unnamed tech giants quasiutopian community floating above the drowned land that was once Monterey Alone on the inside with a thousand mysteriously chosen strangers Sara is insulated by an allpowerful corporation from the turmoil of crumbling governments and a changing climate Everyone around her seems incredibly thankful rescued from gig work and student loans and bad news but she cant find her own gratitude As she learns more about her new home she begins to see the cracks in its perfect facade She must choose between surveillance and lies from the anonymous algorithms that protect her or face a vulnerable life outside the system to which she has signed away her next five years Leaving she learns may not even be an option
