Nicole Kornher-Stace Libri

    Nicole Kornher-Stace crea storie del futuro lontano e delle utopie imminenti, di fantasmi e persone che affrontano le conseguenze di guerre e disastri. Le sue opere esplorano mondi perduti e luoghi oscuri dove i personaggi si confrontano con minacce esistenziali e il proprio tumulto interiore. Con uno stile sia crudo che lirico, immerge i lettori in narrazioni piene di tensione ed emozione.

      "New Liberty City, 2134. Two corporations have replaced the US, splitting the country's remaining forty-five states (five have been submerged under the ocean) between them: Stellaxis Innovations and Greenleaf. There are nine supercities within the continental US, and New Liberty City is the only amalgamated city split between the two megacorps, and thus at a perpetual state of civil war as the feeds broadcast the atrocities committed by each side. Here, Mallory streams Stellaxis's wargame SecOps on BestLife, spending more time jacked in than in the world just to eke out a hardscrabble living from tips. When a chance encounter with one of the game's rare super-soldiers leads to a side job for Mal--looking to link an actual missing girl to one of the SecOps characters. Mal's sudden burst in online fame rivals her deepening fear of what she is uncovering about BestLife's developer, and puts her in the kind of danger she's only experienced through her avatar."--
