| Luke is at the helm of one of the very first start-up Internet Service Provider networks, which he founded, continues to administer, and into which he personally, recruits his own townspeople and many more throughout the New York City Metro Area. Luke's dark and grim online seduction of every woman on the block, and his delusively obsessive, sad, yet comedic fantasy sub-plot with a Television star named Martha, props this fiction throughout. Kat, a New York City Ballerina, lives next door to Luke, and unknowingly becomes his latest special haunt. In time, an unsuspecting, silent and invisible watcher set out to methodically squelch the pained psychotic Luke, then rescue and deliver unto himself the lovely Kat. ...Under the shrewd eye of Luke?
THE US REVIEW OF BOOKS BOOK REVIEW:
"That is surface Luke at the shallow end, but the deep end is darker."
Landry prefaces his techno-thriller with an overview of the birth, infancy, and rise of the internet with a reminder that there's no centralized governance of it. Landry's work shines as a cautionary tale that examines our behaviors in a technology-driven world. It is a disturbing, Hitchcockian story that explores the ideologies of cyberspace, escapism, and illusions of safety and privacy. Here, Landry probes the dangers of reality versus fantasy and justifications of awful decisions in an alarming, compulsive read.
