Synopsis

Los Angeles in 2050 is a city of open doors, as long as you have the right connections. One of those connections is a djinni--a smart device implanted right in a person's head. In a world where virtually everyone is online twenty-four hours a day, this connection is like oxygen--and a world like that presents plenty of opportunities for someone who knows how to manipulate it. Marisa Carneseca is one of those people. She might spend her days in Mirdaor, the small, vibrant LA neighborhood where her family owns a restaurant, but she lives on the net--going to school, playing games, hanging out, or doing things of more questionable legality with her friends Sahara and Anja. And it's Anja who first gets her hands on Bluescreen--a virtual drug that plugs right into a person's djinni and delivers a massive, nonchemical, completely safe high. But in this city, when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, and Mari and her friends soon find themselves in the middle of a conspiracy that is much bigger than they ever suspected. Dan wells, author of the *New York Times* bestselling Partials Sequence, returns with a stunning new vision of the near future--a breathless cyber-thriller where privacy is the world's most rare resource and nothing, not even the thoughts in our heads, is safe. This description comes from the publisher. *Bluescreen* is the first book in the Mirador series.
