"The perfect novel for fans of Black Mirror, Oh's work uses the Greek myth of Eurydice and Orpheus as a starting point. In London, it has become all the rage for people to get a small implant that augments reality with social media, bringing it into every experience. But the British government begins overseeing it for "safety," and things take an even more dystopian turn."
"Nelah has everything she could ever want: fame, money, and a baby girl growing in a government-owned lab. But behind the scenes, her police officer husband microchips her to follow her every move. One night, under the influence, Nelah is in a car accident and someone dies, so she hides their body in an attempt to keep her life together. It seems like it may work, until her victim's ghost begins hunting down Nelah's loved ones, prompting Nelah to finish investigating the government conspiracy her victim was close to exposing."
A reissued French novel follows a nameless child held in a massive underground cage with thirty-nine other women who remember life before the bunker; one day the guards flee, leaving the keys in the door. A modern London-set story uses the Greek myth of Eurydice and Orpheus to explore small implants that overlay social media on experience, and the British government intervening under the banner of "safety," deepening the dystopia. A thriller likened to The Handmaid's Tale meets Get Out centers on Nelah, who is microchipped, conceals a death, faces a vengeful ghost, and uncovers a government conspiracy. Silver Elite presents deadly trials, a strong romance, outlawed psychic "Mods," and a rebel Uprising.
