Sarah Lotz, the author of Day Three and Day Four, presents a chilling near-future SF novel that will captivate fans of Black Mirror and True Detective. Set in Stanton, a city that has banned invasive digital technology by public vote, the story revolves around Lucie Sterling, who embarks on a mission to find her niece who has been abducted.

Stanton is a unique place, devoid of any surveillance state or shadowy companies holding databases of personal information. However, one place remains firmly anchored in the old ways: Green Valley, a massive bunker located across town. Here, the inhabitants have retreated into the comfort of full-time virtual reality, creating personae non gratae to the outside world.

As Lucie delves deeper into Green Valley, she discovers that it is not the idyllic virtual world it presents itself to be. Behind the facade of perfection, there are dark secrets and hidden agendas that threaten to unravel the very fabric of the city. With the help of a few unlikely allies, Lucie must navigate through a web of lies and treachery to uncover the truth about her niece's disappearance and bring the culprits to justice.

Day Three and Day Four are a thrilling and thought-provoking exploration of technology, society, and the human condition. Sarah Lotz's writing is immersive, smart, eerily prescient, and crackling with tension and atmosphere. This is a must-read for fans of SF who are looking for a fresh and exciting take on the genre.
